Virtex-6-based System-level Design Verification Platform Deliver 2.4X Logic Density

Xilinx K.K., the Japanese subsidiary of Xilinx Inc., and Hitachi Information & Communication Engineering Ltd have announced a new LogicBench series of system-level design verification platform, which uses Xilinx Virtex-6 LX760, the fastest and highest performance FPGA, and other Virtex-6 FPGA sub-families.

The LogicBench series is a verification platform for algorithm design, large-scale integration (LSI) feature testing, hardware–software integration testing, FPGA prototyping system verification, and all other system design processes. By combining system-level modeling technology, it enables architecture exploration for LSI development and advanced software development from an early stage and provides an ideal prototyping environment for developing image-processing, network, and other devices requiring complex algorithms. Since its first release in 1998, over 500 LogicBench modules for about 60 sites have been sold, making it one of the most popular platforms in Japan's prototyping market.

The Virtex-6 LX760 device is a key component of the new LogicBench series, offering unrivaled performance and speed, and ideally suited for any application requiring intensive computational performance and high logic density. For example, the new large-capacity device enables designers to use FPGAs to prototype or emulate a greater range of LSI designs. Virtex-6 LX760 device offers a higher I/O count than competing FPGAs to simplify partitioning of large LSI logic across multiple FPGAs. In addition, Virtex-6 LX760 device provides flexible SelectIO technology and 25,920 kbit Block RAM to meet system-leveled verification as well as advanced verification of applications.
