Second-generation CPLD design kit available
7 April 2004
Design Automation
Xilinx' second-generation CPLD Design Kit, a complete solution for developing a broad range of industrial, data processing, communications, and consumer electronics applications, has now been released. Based on both the CoolRunner-II and XC9500XL product families, the kit provides all elements needed to develop, debug and complete a design, including software, cabling, training material, and prototype board with pre-programmed CPLDS.
This is the second-generation CPLD Design Kit from Xilinx and further extends the company's expertise in the CPLD market.
"Our second-generation CPLD Design Kit significantly reduces a designer's time from initial concept to final design," said Mark Halfman, director of marketing and applications for the CPLD division at Xilinx. "By combining our two primary technologies in one complete kit for under $50, Xilinx enables the creation of next-generation systems faster and with lower risk than any other solution available."
Xilinx CoolRunner-II RealDigital CPLDs are designed to provide the high performance and low cost advantages of a programmable device without the typical price premium normally associated with low power devices. They are available in densities ranging from 32 to 512 macrocells and achieve performance up to 385 MHz and pin-to-pin delays down to 3,0 ns. Standby current is a low 12 µA.
