Xilinx Ultra-Small CPLD Packaging Enables High Performance Sketchpad DSP Boards for 3DSP
SAN JOSE, Calif., January 29, 2003 - Xilinx, Inc., (NASDAQ:XLNX) today announced that 3DSP, a leading provider of configurable, scalable digital signal processor (DSP) architecture, used Xilinx chip scale packaged CoolRunner-II CPLDs, the industry's lowest power CPLD family, in its latest generation of SketchPad™ Development Boards. 3DSP Sketchpad Development Kits allow designers to optimize DSP core architecture and I/O configuration to match the needs of a specific application. 3DSP joins a growing number of companies using Xilinx low-cost CPLDs to gain a competitive advantage in today's high-performance, low-power applications.
"Xilinx CoolRunner-II CPLDs in chip-scale packaging gave us everything we needed in a CPLD in an ultra-small package, allowing us to minimize the size of our system without sacrificing performance," said June Jiang, Vice President of Engineering at 3DSP.
"3DSP's application of Xilinx CoolRunner CPLDs is a prime example of our increased penetration in low power CPLD applications," said Sandeep Vij, vice president of Worldwide Marketing at Xilinx. "The CoolRunner-II CPLD chip scale packaging provides companies like 3DSP with the advantages of programmable logic in the most compact form factor available in the industry."
Xilinx CoolRunner-II CPLDs offer the lowest power consumption, highest I/O count per macrocell, and smallest packaging in the industry and are cost optimized to address the pricing pressure of products designed for a broad spectrum of applications. Available in densities ranging from 32 to 512 macrocells, the CoolRunner-II family achieves performance of up to 333 MHz and pin-to-pin delays as fast as 3.0ns while providing a standby power of less than 33 microwatts (<33uW) ¾ an industry first.
The 3DSP Sketchpad Development Kit, comprising a Sketchpad FPGA development board, Software Studio™ development tools, power supply, and USB cables, is a complete development solution that allows designers to optimize and evaluate the SP-3™ , SP-5™ and SP-20 (UniPHY™) DSP architectures, prototype hardware and develop application software. The kit comes ready for USB plug-and-play use with a Windows™-based PC. For more information, visit www.3dsp.com/sketchpad.shtml
