1. FPGAs for Speed and Flexibility By: Rowland S. Demko Date: Sept’2011

2. Say What? High Speed I/O Control FPGA I/O Flexibility Processing Power Communications, Enablers, & Logic Putting It All Together Sophisticated Tools You Can’t Do More for Less

3. High Speed I/O Control CPU with RTOS PCI Bus I/O Module 1 usec FPGA Module with Integrated I/O I/O Lines nanoseconds Approaching 1000x Faster

4. FPGA I/O Flexibility Small FPGAs with Fixed I/O Configurations Front FPGA I/O Configurations Rear FPGA I/O Configurability Supported on: PMC-LX/SX PMC-VLX/VSX XMC-VLX/VSX Supported on: IP-EP20x PMC XMC I/O Types: LVCMOS, LVTTL, LVDS, eLVDS AXM Mezzanine Modules: Digital: AXM-D0x Analog: AXM-Axx

5. Processing Power It’s all about Speed –IP-EP20x @ 125MHz –PMC-LX/SX @ 500MHz –PMC/XMC –VLX/VSX @ 550MHz An then it’s about Simultaneous Parallel Execution –IP-EP20x DCM= None…1 Clock –PMC-LX/SX DCM= 8 –PMC/XMC –VLX/VSX DCM= 12
