Today, let's share the classification and structure of Xilinx FPGA series.
1、 What is FPGA?
The full name of FPGA is Field Programmable Gate Array, which is a field programmable gate array. FPGA is a product of further development on the basis of programmable devices such as PAL, GAL, CPLD, etc. It emerged as a semi customized circuit in the field of specialized integrated circuits (ASICs). It not only solves the shortcomings of customized circuits, but also overcomes the limitations of the limited number of programmable gate circuits in the original programmable devices. Simply put, it is a logic device that can be repeatedly programmed by engineers. The ontology is a digital integrated circuit, a chip that can be programmed to change its internal structure. FPGA is widely used in prototype verification, communication, automotive electronics, industrial control, aerospace, data centers, and other fields.
2、 About Xilinx
Xilinx is a leading global supplier of complete programmable logic solutions. Xilinx develops, manufactures, and sells a wide range of advanced integrated circuits, software design tools, and IP (Intelligent Property) cores as predefined system level functions. Xilinx Company pioneered the innovative technology of Field Programmable Logic Array (FPGA), and the Xilinx FPGA series models were first commercially available in 1985. In 2022, AMD completed the acquisition of Xilinx for $49.8 billion (approximately RMB 316.5 billion).
3、 Xilinx FPGA Product Classification
