Xilinx Kintex-7 410T as a Mid-Range FPGA Solution
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have replaced ASICs to a considerable extent. Now, newer technologies are required to develop these FPGAs.
One of the core needs is to balance power with costs. That is what the Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA series offer. The FPGAs combine a mix of improved performance, power balance and cost-effectiveness – all in one package.
The high-end features offered by the FPGAs include but are not limited to:
- Extensive DSP resources
- Cutting-edge transceivers and;
- Integrated IP
Features of the Xilinx Kintex-7 410T FPGA
Below are some of the features and components that contribute to the Xilinx Kintex-7 410T’s power balance and cost reduction.
1. Cutting Down on BOM
The primary cost reduction technique of the Xilinx Kintex-7 410T is to cut down on the Bill of Materials (BOM).
Typically, BOMs can be a bit on the high side. However, you may be able to save a lot of money when working with the Xilinx Kintex-7 410T.
Its BOM cost reduction includes offering up to 50% reduction when compared to the prices of other 40nm density FPGAs.
2. Improved System Performance
The performance of the system gets a major boost with the integration of a wide range of peripherals.
Examples of these peripherals are:
- DDR3-1866
- Up to 32 x 12.5G GTX Transceivers
- 34Mb BRAM
- Up to 2,845 GMACs
3. Programmable System Integration
The Xilinx Kintex-7 410T is also flexible and easy to integrate with other devices. An example is the support for AMS integration, as well as the support for VCXO component.
It also supports AXI IP and features up to 478,000 logic cells.
4. Design Interoperability
Looking to get inspiration from previous designs to aid your next FPGA designs? The accelerated design productivity and interoperability of the Xilinx Kintex-7 410T makes that happen.
The accelerated and interoperable design is powered by the scalable optimized architecture. You will also get access to IP and Boards, design kits and comprehensive tools to help your next designs.
Conclusion
In addition to cutting costs of design and scaling design architecture, the Xilinx Kintex-7 410T is also power-agnostic. You can expect to save up to 50% power when compared to previous generations of 40nm FPGAs.
