Programmable logic solutions with high performance and large capacity are provided by the QPro Virtex FPGA family. By utilizing an aggressive 5-layer-metal 0.22 m CMOS process and optimizing the new design for place-and-route efficiency, significant gains in silicon efficiency are achieved. These developments make mask-programmed gate arrays less powerful and less flexible than QPro Virtex FPGAs.
The Virtex series, which builds on knowledge garnered from earlier FPGA generations, offers a major advance in programmable logic architecture. The QPro Virtex family of programmable logic devices offers a high-speed and high-capacity programmable logic solution that improves design flexibility while shortening time-to-market. It does this by combining a wide range of programmable system features, a rich hierarchy of fast, flexible interconnect resources, and advanced process technology.
