This all-encompassing configuration guide includes chapters on configuration interfaces, multi-bitstream management, bitstream encryption, boundary-scan and JTAG configuration, and reconfiguration techniques for Xilinx® 7 series FPGAs.

This guide describes the capabilities of the configurable logic blocks (CLBs) available in all Xilinx® 7 series FPGAs.

This guide serves as a technical reference describing the 7 series FPGAs GTP transceivers.

This guide describes the function and operation of the 7 Series FPGAs Integrated Block for PCI Express®, including how to design, customize, and implement it. The Integrated Block for PCI Express (PCIe®) solution supports 1-lane, 2-lane, 4-lane, and 8-lane Endpoint configurations at speeds up to 5.0 Gb/s (Gen2), all of which are compliant with the PCI Express Base Specification, rev. 2.1. This solution supports the AXI4-Stream interface for the customer user interface.

This document describes how to migrate designs utilizing prior FPGA architectures to 7 series FPGAs for improved density (cost), performance, and power.

This User Guide provides information about using, customizing, and simulating LogiCORE™ IP DDR3 and DDR2 SDRAM, RLDRAM II, and QDRII+ SRAM memory interface cores for 7 series FPGAs. This document also describes an optional AXI4 interface.

The USR_ACCESS register, present in the Virtex®-5, Virtex-6, and all 7 series FPGAs, provides the ability to embed version information into a 32-bit fabric-accessible register at the bitstream generation phase, allowing for the best balance of flexibility for the user with minimal impact to the design and implementation time.

This document explains the operation of the SPI-4.2 Dynamic Phase Alignment (DPA) Sink Core for Virtex®-4, Virtex-5, Virtex-6, and 7 series FPGAs and provides the guidelines on how to use the SPI-4.2 DPA solution.

The breakthrough combination of a high-performance, low-power process with architectural innovations makes new 28 nm FPGAs well suited for power-sensitive applications, bandwidth-intensive, and ultra-high-end applications.

Xilinx delivers the first automated, fine-grain clock-gating solution that can reduce dynamic power by up to 30% for Virtex®-6, Spartan®-6, Kintex™-7 and Virtex-7 FPGA designs.

This white paper addresses the flexible partial reconfiguration options when designing with Xilinx® 7 series, Virtex®-6, Virtex-5, and Virtex-4 FPGAs.

This white paper describes various memory interface and controller design challenges and the 7 series FPGA high-performance solution that achieves a 1.866 Gb/s DDR3 data rate for Virtex®-7 and Kintex™-7 FPGAs.

Since the introduction of the PCI Express® protocol, Xilinx has been the market leader in FPGA-based PCI Express solutions—from the soft IP FPGA logic-based solutions in the Virtex®-II Pro family, to the first Integrated Block for PCI Express in the Virtex-5 FPGA family, to its continued use in Virtex-6 and Spartan®-6 devices. The 7 series FPGAs will include the latest generation Integrated Block for PCI Express within a Xilinx FPGA. This breadth of experience has provided Xilinx the expertise to develop the easiest to use, most feature-rich, and highest performance PCI Express solution available.

Xilinx is responding to the demand for more bandwidth with two key developments. The first is high-fidelity 28 Gb/s transceiver technology. The second is 28 nm Virtex®-7 HT FPGAs that integrate an unprecedented 16 x 28 Gb/s and 72x13.1 Gb/s transceivers with logic, memory, and I/O resources that enable the first silicon device (FPGA orotherwise) to support 400G line cards and the industry’slargest single-FPGA solution for Nx100G line cards.

This white paper describes how the new I/O structures in the 7 series architecture support the range of performance and functionality challenges needed to address the broad range of application needs.
