Xilinx Cost-Optimized Portfolio

Static HTML

The expansion of Xilinx’s cost-optimized silicon portfolio targets a wide range of applications including Embedded Vision and Industrial IoT. Whether scaling a multi-sensor camera’s functionality on a factory floor, or developing a smart drone with an innovative guidance system based on sensor fusion, designers can take advantage of the Xilinx® FPGA and SoC offerings across the portfolio for part or all of the system. The expanded Xilinx Spartan®, Artix®, and Zynq® product families address next generation any-to-any connectivity, sensor fusion, precision control, image processing, analytics, and safety and security.

The Xilinx All Programmable Cost-Optimized Portfolio comprises four families that are optimized for specific capabilities:

  • Spartan®-6 FPGA for I/O optimization
  • Spartan-7 FPGAs for I/O optimization with the highest performance-per-watt
  • Artix®-7 FPGAs for transceiver optimization and highest DSP bandwidth
  • Zynq®-7000 All Programmable SoCs for system optimization with scalable processor integration
