With the expansion of the Spartan, Artix, and Zynq product families, next-generation perfect connectivity and
Supports sensor fusion, precision control, image processing, analysis, safety and security, etc.

Xilinx announced that it is expanding its cost-optimized silicon portfolio for a wide range of applications, including embedded vision and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

Currently, embedded vision and IIoT applications can collect data from various sensors and obtain actionable insights through comprehensive analysis. Designers can utilize Xilinx® FPGAs and SoCs from the portfolio in all or part of the system, such as expanding the capabilities of multi-sensor cameras in factory environments or developing smart drones with built-in innovative guidance systems based on sensor fusion.

Xilinx’s expanded Spartan®, Artix®, and Zynq® product families support next-generation any-to-any connectivity, sensor fusion, precision control, image processing, analytics, safety, and security functions.



Kirk Saban, Senior Executive Officer of FPGA, SoC Product Management and Marketing at Xilinx, stated, “Xilinx is focused on supporting complete solutions for cost-sensitive applications with new features added to our cost-optimized portfolio,” adding, “Our current portfolio, including the Spartan 7 family, the added Artix-7 products, and the Zynq-7000 single-core devices, provides the industry’s most powerful performance-per-watt solutions and offers greater processor scalability at lower price points.”

This new Spartan-7 family is the industry's only 28nm-based FPGA in an 8x8mm package, enabling the most cost-effective connectivity among a portfolio of legacy and modern interfaces. It also provides sensor fusion and precision control with the highest performance per watt in a small form factor.

The newly added Artix-7 device leads the industry in transceiver and signal processing performance. This new FPGA provides best-in-class image processing bandwidth in multi-sensor embedded vision and supports higher power efficiency at small densities.

The new Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC single-core device has lowered the cost entry point to the fully scalable ARM® processor-based Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC platform and also provides a single cost-optimized solution for analytics capabilities and cloud connectivity.

This portfolio addresses the growing challenges of IoT cybersecurity by utilizing multilayered approaches to safety and security, including processor-driven secure boot and next-generation bitstream encryption authentication. The expansion of this portfolio complements the recently announced dual-core CG MPSoC products, which provide a single option for the dual-core A53 using 16nm process technology and the dual-core A9 using 28nm process technology.

This cost-optimized portfolio is available for the upcoming Vivado® Design Suite and Xilinx’s SDx™ software-defined environment for IP and system-centric design and implementation. Additionally, hardware and software developers can achieve more secure design schedules in cost-sensitive markets.

The updated Spartan-7 product family, Artix-7 FPGA, and Zynq-7000S devices will be supported for free in the Vivado Design Suite WebPACK™ Edition, allowing you to start development faster with Vivado Design and System.
