PCI - Concept

PCI— Peripheral Component Interconnect— Originated in the PC industry— High performance bus that provides a processor independent

data path between the CPU and high-speed peripherals— Robust interconnect mechanism developed to relieve the I/O

bottlenecks— Used in the multiple high performance peripherals for

graphics, full motion video, SCSI, LAN and embedded systems

Programmable ASSP - Value Benefits

— Time to Market— Flexibility

– Product Customization to meet customer needs– Adapt to Specification Updates– Feature Upgrades– Low risk evaluation of new market segments

— Field Upgradability– Hardware and Software upgradability opens new applications

— Efficiently Address Lower Volume Strategic Applications— Distribution and Inventory Management

Spartan-II + Soft IP = Programmable ASSP

Xilinx at Work in Hot New Technologies ®

Programmable ASSP Advantages Accommodate Specification Changes

— Multiple standards and specification changes are accommodated

Testing and Verification— What if the stand-alone ASSP does not perform as expected?— Being re-programmable, risk aversion is a tremendous value-add

Xilinx On-line - Field Upgradability— Remote update of Software and Hardware— Results in increased lifetime for a product— Enable product features per end-user needs

Issues in Creating a Stand-Alone ASSP— Choosing the right ASSP— Product customization— Development cost and amortization— Spartan-II family has amortized cost by selling to the traditional PLD

marketplace
