Advantages of the Xilinx XC7V2000T FPGA
These are some of the benefits of utilizing the Xilinx XC7V2000T FPGA for your designs.
1. Support for Multiple Applications
The core use cases or applications of the Xilinx XC7V2000T are for 10G to 100G networking devices and portable radar. In this case, the FPGA is used to make prototypes and final designs of the 100GE Line Card and the 24-Channel Portable Radar Beamformer.
The Xilinx XC7V2000T FPGA is also used when making prototypes of the 10GPON/10GEPON OLT Line Card and the ASIC Prototyping solutions.
2. Fast-Paced FPGA Design
Designs that took a month or more can now be completed within the shortest time possible. It is possible because of the Xilinx XC7V2000T FPGA’s provision of the relevant components and a scalable architecture.
Included in the box are the comprehensive tools you need to configure your Virtex-7 Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs).
The board also provides a scalable optimized architecture that can be merged or migrated to other relevant devices for onward modifications and configurations.
It also provides Intellectual Property (IP) solutions to protect the design from third-party (illegal) usage.
3. Power and Cost Reduction
The Xilinx Virtex-7 XC7V2000T FPGA also saves costs on both the overall price of the board and the power usage.
For example, it saves up to 70% power when compared to the multi-chip solution variant. The cost-saving is derived from the reduction of some of the Bill of Materials (BOM) components. You can expect to save up to 40% on the BOM, especially if you are comparing it to the multi-chip FPGA solution.
4. General System Improvement
The Xilinx XC7V2000T FPGA also offers an improved system performance via its dedicated memory interfaces.
The options provided here range from the DDR3-1866 and the 5,335 GMACs. The board also offers 68Mb BRAM, up to 2.8 terabyte of serial bandwidth and up to 96 x 13.1G GTs.
Conclusion
You can rely on the Xilinx XC7V2000T FPGA to provide an accelerated infrastructure and reliable (improved) components, upon which you can leverage to make excellent prototypes of Virtex-7 Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs).
