DEFINITION:
Field Programmable Gate Arrays(FPGAs) are semiconductor devices that are based around a
matrix of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) connected via programmable interconnects. FPGAs
can be reprogrammed to desired application or functionality requirements after manufacturing.
INVENTION OF FPGA
XILINX co-founders Ross
Freeman and
Bernard
Vonderschmitt invented
the
first
commercially viable field-programmable gate array in 1985 the XC2064 The XC2064 had
programmable gates and programmable interconnects between gates, the beginnings of a new
technology and market. The XC2064 had 64 configurable logic blocks (CLBs), with two
three-input lookup tables (LUTs).It is also known as XC2000.

FEATURES OF 7 SERIES
FPGA
low-power variant of 28nm process technology
The 7 series FPGAs combine power reducing process, design techniques, and
architectural enhancements to deliver the lowest power consumption, compared to
previous generation FPGAs:
Breakthrough 50% Power Reduction
Greater than 2X System Performance
Dramatically Reduced Development Time
FPGA:KINTEX-7
The Kintex-7 family is the first Xilinx mid-range FPGA family that the company
claims delivers Virtex-6 family performance at less than half the price while
consuming 50 percent less power.
KINTEX-7
Industrys Best Price Performance FPGAS
50% low power than previous generations
High range(3.3v) and high performance(1.8v) I/O
The Kintex family includes high-performance 12.5 Gbit/s or lower-cost optimized
6.5 Gbit/s serial connectivity, memory, and logic performance required for
applications such as high volume 10G optical wired communication equipment,
and provides a balance of signal processing performance, power consumption and
cost to support the deployment of Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless networks.
ARTIX-7
The Artix-7 family delivers 50 percent lower power and 35 percent lower cost
compared to the Spartan-6 family and is based on the unified Virtex-series
architecture. Xilinx claims that Artix-7 FPGAs deliver the performance required to
address cost-sensitive, high-volume markets previously served by ASSPs, ASICs,
and low-cost FPGAs
ARTIX-7
lowest power, lowest cost and small form factor FPGA
Upto 16 6.6 GBPS Serial transrecievers
High Range (3.3V) I/O
The ARTIX family is designed to address the small form factor and low-power
performance
requirements
of
battery-powered
portable
ultrasound
equipment,
commercial digital camera lens control, and military avionics and communications
equipment.
7 SERIES FPGA FAMILIES
FPGA:ZYNQ
The Zynq-7000 family of SoCs addresses high-end embedded-system applications,
such as video surveillance, automotive-driver assistance, next-generation wireless,
and factory automation.
In 2013, Xilinx introduced the Zynq-7100, which integrates (DSP) to meet
emerging programmable systems integration requirements of wireless, broadcast,
medical and military applications
FPGA:ZYNQ
Zynq-7000 integrate a completeCORTEX-A9-processor-based 28 nm
system. The Zynq architecture differs from previous marriages of
programmable logic and embedded processors by moving from an
FPGA-centric platform to a processor-centric model.
For software developers, Zynq-7000 appear the same as a standard,
fully featured ARM processor-based system-on-chip (SOC), booting
immediately at power-up and capable of running a variety of operating
systems independently of the programmable logic.
