Highest-capacity FPGA now shipping
10 June 2015
Programmable Logic
Xilinx has delivered the industry’s first 4M logic cell device which offers >50M equivalent ASIC gates. First shipments of the Virtex UltraScale VU440 FPGA are ideal for next-generation ASIC and complex SoC prototyping and emulation.
With a capacity of 50 million equivalent ASIC gates and very high I/O count, the IC leverages the UltraScale architecture’s ASIC-like clocking, next-generation routing, and logic block enhancements to deliver optimal utilisation.
Production qualified at the 28 nm node, the stacked silicon interconnect (SSI) technology inside is built on TSMC’s chip-on-wafer-on-substrate (CoWoS) 3D IC process to achieve greater silicon scaling, as well as power and performance benefits by integrating multiple components on a single device. Along with five times more inter-die bandwidth and a unified clocking architecture across slice boundaries, UltraScale 3D IC devices deliver a virtual monolithic design experience for fast implementation and design closure.
As the largest member of the family, the VU440 delivers 4,4M logic cells, 1456 user I/Os, 48 x 16,3 Gbps backplane-capable transceivers, and 89 Mb of block RAM, more than doubling the highest-capacity Virtex-7 2000T device.
