The Virtex-5 LXT platform addresses the challenging bandwidth, power and cost targets facing equipment vendors working to enable the emerging ‘triple play’ services market (voice, video and data over single broadband Internet Protocol connection). The new platform is optimized to enable FPGA designers across a wide range of applications to benefit from serial connectivity by delivering a comprehensive, fully compliant protocol solution with the greatest ease of use.
The Virtex-5 LXT platform also features the industry’s lowest power 65-nanometer (nm) transceiver, typically consuming less than 100mW per channel at 3.2 Gbps.
