Tokyo Electron Device Announces the Industry's Highest Performance Virtex-5 LX 330 Evaluation Platform.

Rapid Design and Evaluation Platform of High-Speed Systems With Low-Cost FPGA Configuration Solution

SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Tokyo Electron Device, Ltd. (TED), today announced it has developed the highest performance multi- application evaluation platform for the Xilinx(R) Virtex-5 LX 330 and its family, which today is the industry's highest density and highest performance FPGA in the market. TED's new Virtex-5 LX Multi-Application Evaluation Platform enables efficient design and evaluation of a wide range of high-speed applications, including consumer products such as high definition televisions, set-top boxes and printers, as well as telecommunications equipment, medical devices and miscellaneous industrial equipment.

"As a leading Xilinx's distributor in Japan, TED is pleased to have again collaborated with Xilinx in developing this new Virtex-5 evaluation platform," said Toshiaki Sunagawa, president and representative director of TED. "The Virtex-5 family is the flagship FPGA for Xilinx and a key new addition to our line of inrevium board products."

Built with TED's inrevium(TM) TE7725PF, a low-cost FPGA configuration control LSI, the Virtex-5 LX Multi-Application Evaluation Platform meets the rapidly growing market demand for a development environment that enables design engineers to rapidly evaluate high-speed interface technologies such as DDR2-SDRAM and LVDS.

 
  The Virtex-5 LX platform also features: 
 
  -- Xilinx XC5VLX110 or 220 or 330-1FF1760, the industry's first 65nm FPGA 
     and Xilinx's flagship high density and performance FPGAs 
  -- On-board DDR2-SDRAM chips (667Mbps) and DDR2 SO-DIMM slot to evaluate 
     high-speed memory access 
  -- Reference design of high-speed ...
