Smarter Systems: The Transition Has Begun

The entire electronics industry is undergoing a transition to smarter systems. The drivers behind this change are all connected to many aspects of system design including efficiency, productivity, security, quality, and of course cost. The enemy is waste. Systems reduce waste when they use only the required resources to deliver only the desired goods and services when and where they are needed. To achieve these goals, systems must be able to obtain, process, and make decisions based on a wide variety of information from remote and local databases, sensor information, and other inputs.

What does this transition mean to system vendors? It means that there must be more decision-making intelligence in every new system. The networks that convey essential information must be transformed from dumb pipes to smart ones. Buildings are becoming smarter so that light and heat are delivered only where needed. Highly integrated networking has come to the factory floor to ensure that every system in the factory has access to critical data needed to make decisions. Robots within these factories combine information from databases with machine vision to become more efficient. Energy grids are becoming smarter so that electricity infrastructures can handle the changing loads of complex societies. Automobiles are becoming smarter through vision systems and wireless communications to increase drivers' safety and to help drivers handle the increasing traffic congestion in urban areas.

Smarts in Everything You Can Imagine

Xilinx is leading the industry to usher in the trend to smarter systems. We call this trend "All Programmable and Smarter Systems" and we have focused on providing hardware- and software-programmable devices and a complete portfolio of SmartCORE IP and system-level expertise to help the rapid design and implementation of smarter systems.

All Programmable and Smarter Systems

For more than 25 years, Xilinx's core competency has been the development of programmable technologies starting with the introduction of the first FPGA. Today's All Programmable FPGAs and SoCs provide unprecedented levels of programmability that is supported by a large and growing portfolio of IP cores, SoC-strength development tools, design specialists with market-specific design expertise, and design services to help you integrate and customize your design solution.

Over the past several years, Xilinx has been making a transition from the leading FPGA vendor to a provider of All Programmable Solutions for Smarter Systems. But just what do those words mean?

It means that the FPGA fabric, the fundamental building block of all Xilinx silicon products—FPGAs, 3D ICs, and SoCs—has reached a critical threshold at the 28nm process node. This threshold marks the transition boundary between "glue logic" and complete systems. At 28nm, Xilinx silicon is capable of replacing entire ASSPs and ASICs, which means that a Xilinx All Programmable device equipped with the right IP and software may well be the only significant integrated circuit needed to implement many end products.

A Generation Ahead 28nm Process Technology

Xilinx and technology and manufacturing partner Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) developed a high-κ metal gate (HKMG), high-performance, low-power 28nm process technology for FPGAs. This new 28nm process technology builds upon the achievements of 40nm FPGA process development and introduces a new HKMG technology to maximize usable system performance through lower power.

Our technology, although unique in the FPGA industry, is already being embraced by other leading-edge IC suppliers because it dramatically reduces static power when compared with alternative process technologies. At the 28nm node, static power is often a more significant portion of the total power dissipation of a device. Therefore, to achieve maximum power efficiency, the choice of process technology is paramount.

Dramatic reductions in FPGA static power at 28nm leaves more of the system power budget for active, dynamic power, yielding higher levels of both integration and system performance. This gives designers the flexibility to implement products at lower power, or alternatively, create products that increase capacity and performance within the same power budget.

Breakthrough in Optimization and Integration

Five product families with breakthroughs in integration and optimization that change the game in price/performance/watt and enable programmable systems integration. With a broad portfolio of All Programmable FPGAs, SoCs and 3D ICs, you are empowered to maximize system performance, lower power, and reduce BOM costs, while preserving design flexibility across a wide range of markets and applications.

Setting a new industry standard for programmable systems integration

Logic Integration - at 2M logic cells, 85 Mb RAM, 3600 DSP48E slices, the 7 series delivers unchallenged industry leadership in logic, memory, and DSP capacity
SerDes Integration - unmatched total SerDes count, bandwidth, and channel optimization enable the industry’s leading integrated systems with the highest performance and signal integrity
Analog Mixed Signal - on chip integration of digitally customizable AMS eliminates multiple devices yielding unmatched BOM savings, system reliability, and security
Embedded Processing - on chip integration of an industry-standard ARM® dual-core Cortex™-A9 MPCore™ processing sub-system delivers breakthrough, All Programmable SoC capabilities

Devices optimized for critical market needs, from the highest performance to the most cost-sensitive

Extreme Bandwidth and Capacity - the industry’s new watermark for bandwidth and capacity leadership; 2.7Tb/s serial bandwidth, 5T MAC/s, and 2M logic cells
Performance - greater than 2X system performance vs. previous generations, and up to 40% average performance advantage vs. equivalent competitive product families
Price/Performance/Watt - optimized features and performance leveraging TSMC’s 28HPL process to deliver game changing value that is unmatched in the industry
Price and Power - combining process technology, design techniques, and architectural enhancements to deliver the lowest in-class power consumption and price

Staying a Generation Ahead: 20nm Portfolio

Xilinx’s 20nm portfolio, which includes the next-generation 8 series All Programmable FPGAs and 2ndgeneration of 3D ICs and SoCs, builds upon the breakthroughs that were proven at 28nm to provide an extra generation of system performance, lower power and programmable system integration. Co-optimized with Xilinx’s Vivado Design Suite for the highest productivity and quality of results, the 20nm portfolio will address a wide range of next generation systems and provide the most compelling programmable alternative ever to ASICs and ASSPs.

Useful Weblinks for Science & Engineering Educators

EurekAlert!
EurekAlert! is an online, global news service operated by AAAS, the science society. EurekAlert! provides a central place through which universities, medical centers, journals, government agencies, corporations and other organizations engaged in research can bring their news to the media. EurekAlert! also offers its news and resources to the public. EurekAlert! features news and resources focused on all areas of science, medicine and technology.

eFunda
eFunda stands for engineering Fundamentals. Its mission is to create an online destination for the engineering community, where working professionals can quickly find concise and reliable information to meet the majority of their daily reference needs.
eFunda is all about the basics, for most part, that means college level material covered in engineering schools. If you practice engineering, more often than not you would find yourself searching for something you knew but could not quite remember. eFunda wants to be your reminder of these formulas. Not only that, eFunda wants to tell you exactly under what conditions those formulas apply, so you don't have to read an entire chapter of the good old textbook.

Freepatentsonline.com
SumoBrain Solutions is the company behind FPO. We have been working with patents, patent data, and tackling the problems of “big data” before the term was even popularized. SBS is most well-known through its patent properties, notably FPO. The reality is that FPO is just the tip of the iceberg in capturing the depth and breadth of the capabilities and solutions of SBS – our press release in September, 2011 and the launch of SBS’s web site is an important step in addressing this delta.
"With an impressive collection of web sites, data sets, and services, including FreePatentsOnline.com, SumoBrain.com, BioMedSearch.com, and OpenThesis.org, we needed an identity outside of our hugely popular (but primarily functional) web properties. Many people don’t realize the scope of our capabilities, data and services just from using one of our sites," said Erik Reeves, CEO.
"Providing better tools for patent search was easy for us because we had conducted 100's of patent searches and understood the challenges of the IP professional – facing scarce resources to do complex and incredibly important analysis," added James Ryley, PhD.
By leveraging FPO's years of experience with patent searching, patent data (as well as a rapidly growing collection of Non-patent literature), and its massive community of users, FPO is uniquely positioned to serve the IP community.
