Kintex-7 FPGA

Kintex-7 FPGA Family

With the introduction of the world’s first 28nm FPGAs, Xilinx gives designers the broadest range of programmable platforms including the versatility of a new class of devices. Doubling the price performance and cutting power consumption and cost in half makes the Xilinx Kintex™-7 FPGAs the choice for today’s fast-growth applications such as wireless communications. Designers can take advantage of a family of devices with exceptional performance and connectivity, at price points previously limited to only the highest-volume applications.

Kintex-7 FPGAs let designers build in superior bandwidth and 12-bit digitally programmable analog while meeting cost and power requirements. Unprecedented 144GMACS digital signal processor(DSP) power makes the versatile Kintex-7 devices an excellent option for applications such as portable ultrasound equipment and next-generation communications. Kintex-7 FPGAs deliver peak serial bandwidth (full duplex) of 800Gbps and include CPRI/OBSAI IP cores (9.8Gbps) optimized for today’s distributed baseband architectures. The programmable Kintex-7 devices can also be easily reconfigured to support multiple air interfaces such as LTE, WiMAX, and WCDMA. For interfacing to host systems, the Kintex-7 FPGA family provides built-in support for eight channels of PCI Express (Gen1/Gen2).
