Milestone set to accelerate widespread adoption
of All Programmable devices and ADIâs data converters in
communications equipment
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.
âBy demonstrating JESD204B interoperability, Xilinx and ADI
have shown leadership in this important new standard,â said
Harpinder Matharu, senior product manager, Xilinx Communications
Business Unit. âWorking 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.â
âInteroperability 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,â said Dave Babicz, director, Global
Alliances, Analog Devices. âADIâs 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.â
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 ADIâs AD9250 device. Read the
complete JESD204B Xilinx/Analog Devices AD9250 interoperability
report here.
Xilinx JESD204 LogiCORE IP is the industryâs 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.
