Mentor Graphics announces Synthesis support for Xilinx Virtex-5 FXT FPGAs
(Technology News, 04 Apr 2008 )
Mentor Graphics’ suite of advanced synthesis products support Virtex-5 FXT field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) – the system integration platform from Xilinx, Inc. optimized for high-performance embedded processing, digital signal processing (DSP) and high-speed serial connectivity. Support for the Virtex-5 FXT platform is available now in the Mentor Graphics Precision RTL and Precision RTL Plus products, providing synthesis for quickly implementing large, cost-efficient system-level designs that meet target specifications. The 65nm Virtex-5 FXT platform, with up to two PowerPC 440 embedded processor blocks as well as high-performance DSP and high-speed serial capabilities, delivers broad system integration capabilities for creating system solutions in support of high-performance applications such as wireless, video, military and aerospace. The processor, DSP and high-speed serial integration help reduce board complexity and lower the overall cost of system design.
