Product Summary
ASMBL? column-based architecture is unique in the programmable logic industry. Virtex-4 FPGAs contain three families
(platforms): LX, FX, and SX. Choice and feature combinations are offered for all complex applications. A wide array of
hard-IP core blocks complete the system solution. These cores include the PowerPC? processors (with a new APU
interface), Tri-Mode Ethernet MACs, 622 Mb/s to 10+ Gb/s serial transceivers, dedicated DSP slices, high-speed clock
management circuitry, and source-synchronous interface blocks. The basic Virtex-4 building blocks are an enhancement of
those found in the popular Virtex-based product families: Virtex, Virtex-E, Virtex-II, Virtex-II Pro, and Virtex-II Pro X, allowing
upward compatibility of existing designs. Virtex-4 devices are produced on a state-of-the-art 90-nm copper process, using
300 mm (12 inch) wafer technology. Combining a wide variety of flexible features, the Virtex-4 family enhances
programmable logic design capabilities and is a powerful alternative to ASIC technology.
