The AMD 7 Series FPGAs and adaptive SoCs are a family of programmable logic devices (PLDs) that offer a wide range of features and performance for a variety of applications. They offer enhancements over previous generations, including:
- Increased logic capacity: The 7 Series devices offer up to 2 million logic cells, which is more logic capacity of previous generations. This increased logic capacity enablers designers to create more complex and compute-intensive applications.
- Improved performance: The 7 Series devices offer higher performance than previous generations. This improved performance is due to the use of a high-speed fabric and the implementation of logic optimization techniques.
- Reduced power consumption: The 7 Series devices offer lower power consumption than previous generations. This reduced power consumption is due to the use of a low-power fabric and the implementation of new power-gating techniques.
- Enhanced security features: The 7 Series devices offer enhanced security features, including hardware-based encryption and authentication.
- Support for new standards and protocols: The 7 Series devices support a wide range of new standards and protocols, including PCIe® Gen3 DDR3 and 100G Ethernet.
The 7 Series devices are available in a variety of packages and configurations, making them suitable for applications such as networking, data center, aerospace and defense, industrial automation, and medical imaging.
The 7 Series comprises five families of products:
- AMD SpartanTM 7 FPGAs: The Spartan 7 FPGAs are an entry-level family of devices that offer a low-cost and low-power solution for simple applications.
- AMD ArtixTM 7 FPGAs: The Artix 7 FPGAs are a family of devices that provide high performance-per-watt fabric, transceiver line rates, DSP processing, and AMS integration in a cost-optimized FPGA. Featuring 1,066Mb/s DDR3 support, the family is the best value for a variety of cost and power-sensitive applications.
- AMD ZynqTM 7000 SoCs: The Zynq 7000 SoCs are a family of adaptive SoCs that combine the programmable logic of an FPGA with the processing power of an Arm® Cortex®-A9 processor. This combination of features makes the Zynq 7000 SoCs ideal for a wide range of embedded applications.
- AMD VirtexTM 7 FPGAs: The Virtex 7 FPGAs are the flagship family of devices in the 7 Series. They offer high logic capacity and performance.
- AMD KintexTM 7 FPGAs: The Kintex 7 FPGAs are a mid-range family of devices that offer a good balance of logic capacity, performance, and features.
Each family of products in the 7 Series supports MicroblazeTM and offers a wide range of features and benefits that make it suitable for a variety of applications. The Virtex 7 FPGAs are powerful and feature-rich devices while the Spartan 7 FPGAs are a low-cost and low-power solution for simple applications. The Zynq 7000 SoCs are a unique family of devices that combine the programmable logic of a FPGA with the processing power of an Arm Cortex-A9 processor, making them ideal for a wide range of embedded applications.
7 Series Product Lifecycle Extended Through 2035
