Spartan FPGA' er nu PCI Express compliant

Xilinx Spartan-6 familie er nu compliant med PCI Express 1.1 specifikationerne (in english).

Xilinx has announced that its low-cost Spartan-6 FPGA family is compliant with the PCI Express 1.1 specification, enabling low-risk and low-cost implementation of serial connectivity solutions for consumer, automotive, wireless, and other price-sensitive or high volume markets. Spartan-6 FPGAs satisfy the cost, ease-of-use, and low power requirements of developing systems compliant with PCIe for applications such as in-vehicle infotainment, flat-panel displays, and video surveillance.

The integrated Endpoint block for PCI Express in Xilinx Spartan-6 LXT FPGAs has passed PCI-SIG compliance and interoperability testing for PCIe 1.1 single-lane configurations. 


Xilinx was the first to integrate compliant PCIe version 1.1 blocks into programmable devices with its Virtex-5 FPGA family, and the first to introduce a FPGA offering compliant with the 5Gbps version of PCIe 2.0 standard with soft IP support in Virtex-5 FXT and Virtex-5 TXT devices.

- With the ubiquity of PCIe, system developers across the full spectrum of markets and applications are looking to Xilinx FPGAs for flexible connectivity solutions with proven low-power, low-cost silicon, says Tom Feist, senior marketing director for ISE Design Suite at Xilinx.

- Our Spartan-6 FPGAs provide the lowest cost PCIe implementation for programmable devices with twice the capability and less than half the power of previous Spartan-3 generation two-chip offerings. Developers can now design PCIe compliant systems based on the connectivity requirements of their applications and not be constrained by the cost of silicon.

PCIe 1.1 is implemented in Spartan-6 LXT devices with production-proven Xilinx GTP serial transceivers capable of up to 3.125Gbps and the LogiCORE solution using the integrated Endpoint block for PCI Express.
