Xilinx XC7A100T Product Advantages
The Xilinx XC7A100T FPGA family offers a wide range of features and competitive advantages over its competitors under the Xilinx Artix-7 series.
If you are interested in any of the devices under the Xilinx XC7A100T, here are some of the advantages that come with it.
1. Design Acceleration
The Xilinx XC7A100T FPGA family promises to accelerate or facilitate the process of designing the device.
It does this via the provision of a scalable FPGA architecture optimization, IP and comprehensive tools.
2. Device Cost Reduction
Just like other Artix-7 devices, the Xilinx XC7A100T is optimized for cost reduction. The process of reducing the cost is first by offering up to $5 worth of savings on analog components.
It also reduces costs via the use of small wire bonding packaging.
3. Device Integration and Increased Performance
The Xilinx XC7A100T improves the performance of the devices/FPGAs via the use of robust configuration architecture. The architecture comprises:
- DDR3-1066
- Up to 16 by 6.6 GTs
- 13Mb BRAM
- 930 GMAC/s
- 1.2 Gb/s LVDS
The system and device integration are offered via the Analog Mixed Signal integration. The process also encompasses the AXI IP and up to 215K Logic Cells (LCs).
4. Power Reduction
To prevent excessive power usage and inappropriate heat dissipation, the Xilinx XC7A100T has been able to control the power.
The process involves the reduction of static by 65%. It also cuts down on the power by offering up to 50% power reduction, when compared to the 45nm generation FPGAs/devices.
