SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc.
(NASDAQ:XLNX) today announced first customer shipment of the
Virtex® UltraScale+™ FPGA, the industry's first high-end FinFET
FPGA built using TSMC's 16FF+ process. Xilinx is actively engaged
with more than one hundred customers on the UltraScale+ portfolio
with design tools, and has already shipped devices and/or boards to
over sixty of these customers. The Virtex UltraScale+ devices join
the Zynq® UltraScale+ MPSoCs and Kintex® UltraScale+ FPGAs
showcasing the availability of all three families of the Xilinx®
16nm portfolio. Virtex UltraScale+ devices build on the success of
the Virtex UltraScale family, the industry's only 20nm high-end
FPGAs. With industry leading capabilities like 32G transceivers,
PCIe® Gen 4 integrated cores, and UltraRAM on-chip memory
technology, the new devices provide the required performance and
integration needed for next generation Data Center, 400G and
Terabit Wired Communications, Test and Measurement, and Aerospace
and Defense markets.
