Low cost is a priority for the Xilinx XC5200 Field-Programmable Gate Array Family. The XC5200 series adds a robust feature set to programmable logic design by building on lessons learned from three previous successful SRAM FPGA families. A deep hierarchy of interconnect resources, the VersaRing I/O interface, and the VersaBlock logic module work together to improve design flexibility and speed up time to market. The well-known Xilinx software environment provides total support for the XC5200 series. There is complete support for the FPGA XC5200 family on well-known workstation and PC platforms. Popular design entry techniques like ABEL, schematic capture, VHDL, and Verilog HDL synthesis are all fully supported. Logic synthesis designers can utilize their current tools to create designs for the XC5200 devices.
