SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc.
(NASDAQ: XLNX) and Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI) today
announced that they have achieved JESD204B interoperability between
Xilinx JESD204 LogiCORE™ IP in the Kintex®-7 FPGA and the ADI
AD9250 analog-to-digital high-speed data converter. Achieving
JESD204B interoperability between logic and data converter devices
is a significant milestone in promoting the widespread adoption of
this new technology.

Transition to the high-speed transceiver based JESD204B standard
opens up significant upsides for improving system performance in
communications equipment. JESD204B offers manufacturers numerous
advantages, including higher level system integration,
deterministic latency capability, easier multi-channel
synchronization, smaller and lower-cost device packages, reduced
PCB complexity and cost, and better system modularization.
"By demonstrating JESD204B interoperability, Xilinx and ADI have
shown leadership in this important new standard," said Harpinder Matharu, senior product manager,
Xilinx Communications Business Unit. "Working together, Xilinx and
ADI can enable manufacturers to take advantage of JESD204B to
accelerate time-to-market for their new products by shortening
development time, reducing system test effort, and minimizing
development issues."
"Interoperability testing between Xilinx FPGAs and ADI data
converters is a significant milestone for analog and digital
designers worldwide and it will reinforce industry confidence in
this emerging high-speed converter interface. The results
confirm that off-the-shelf ADI JESD204B data converters and Xilinx
FPGAs work together seamlessly," said Dave
Babicz, director, Global Alliances, Analog Devices.
"ADI's portfolio includes the clocks, amplifiers and the other
components, tools and software needed to successfully implement a
JESD204B-based data converter-to-FPGA design, and together, ADI and
Xilinx provide a complete and verified solution."
Developed by the JEDEC standards organization, the new JESD204B
specification overcomes connectivity limitations between the logic
device and the multiple data converter devices used in multi-mode
wireless radios, wideband backhaul modems, ultrasound monitors and
other high performance equipment. JESD204B eliminates the
connectivity bottleneck, complexity and improves system performance
while lowering cost.
The joint interoperability lab testing successfully validated
JESD204B subclass 0 and subclass 1 (deterministic latency)
functionality by running a comprehensive set of tests between the
Xilinx Kintex-7 XC7K325T FPGA and ADI's AD9250 device. Read the
complete JESD204B Xilinx/Analog Devices AD9250 interoperability
report here.
Xilinx JESD204 LogiCORE IP is the industry's first JESD204B soft
IP that supports continuous line rates from 1 Gb/s to 12.5 Gb/s on
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 lanes using GTX or GTH transceivers in
Zynq®-7000, Kintex-7 and Virtex®-7 28nm devices and GTP
transceivers in the 28nm Artix®-7 FPGA family. Xilinx JESD204B IP
can be configured as a transmitter or receiver and supports
transceiver sharing between a transmitter and receiver link.
