Xilinx Extends Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC

Xilinx introduced its new Zynq-7100 All Programmable SoCs designed for programmable systems integration requirements of next-generation 'smart' wireless, broadcast, medical and military applications.


The new device combines digital signal processing and ARM processing capabilities. Xilinx said that by integrating all these programmable technologies (hardware, software and I/O) onto a single device, its Zynq-7100 All Programmable SoC reduces both the bill-of-materials (BOM) and power consumption compared to multi-chip solutions.

"Our new Zynq-7100 device sets a new industry benchmark with greater than twice the signal processing capability of the most advanced All Programmable SoC available to date and is set to accelerate Zynq's already rapid replacement of ASIC & ASSPs in high performance signal processing applications," said Lawrence Getman, vice president of processing platforms at Xilinx.
