White Paper: Lowering Power at 28 nm with Xilinx 7 Series FPGAs
This white paper describes several aspects of power related to the Xilinx(r) 28 nm 7 series FPGAs, including the TSMC 28 nm high-k metal gate (HKMG), high performance, low power (28 nm HPL or 28 HPL) process choice. The power benefits afforded by the 28 HPL process and its usefulness across Xilinx’s full product offerings is described as well as the architectural innovations and features for power reduction across the dimensions of static power, dynamic power, and I/O power.

White Paper: Xilinx Redefines Power, Performance, and Design Productivity with Three Innovative 28 nm FPGA Families: Virtex-7, Kintex-7, and Artix-7 Devices
Industry dynamics are driving seemingly insatiable demand for higher bandwidth and higher system-level performance while facing more stringent mandatory requirements to reduce power consumption. At the same time, competitive pressures are forcing customers to increase productivity without sacrificing innovation and differentiation. To meet these demands, Xilinx(r) 7 series FPGAs leverage the unprecedented power, performance, and capacity enabled by TSMC’s 28 nm high-k metal gate (HKMG), high performance, low power (HPL) process technology and the unparalleled scalability afforded by the FPGA industry’s first unified silicon architecture to provide a comprehensive platform base for next-generation systems.

White Paper: Reducing Switching Power with Intelligent Clock Gating
Xilinx delivers the first automated, fine-grain clock-gating solution that can reduce dynamic power by up to 30% in Virtex(r)-6, Spartan(r)-6, Kintex(tm)-7, and Virtex-7 FPGA designs. Xilinx intelligent clock-gating optimizations are automatically performed on the entire design, introduce no new tools or steps to the flow, and generate no changes to the existing logic or to the clocks that alter the behavior of the design. And, in most cases, the timing is also preserved.

White Paper: Can You Have It All? Evaluating FPGA-Based Prototyping Systems
RTL simulation is no longer capable of providing all of the verification required for today’s complex designs. Modern systems are a complex mixture of hardware and software, digital and analog, and the boundaries of the system are often difficult to define.

White Paper: How Does the FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card) Standard Measure up Against the PMC/XMC Format for Embedded Defense/Aerospace Applications?
FMCs promise to do for FPGA based solutions what PMC and XMC did for embedded CPU based systems. However, FMC is not really competing with PMC or XMC, but actually complements it, particularly for high bandwidth, low latency applications.

White Paper: A Comparison of MPEG4 (H.264) and JPEG2000 Video Compression and Decompression Algorithms
With the introduction of High Definition (HD) video, much higher data rates need to be recorded and moved around in the digital domain meaning new technologies have had to be developed in order to accommodate these higher specification video streams.

White Paper: No end to the possibilities: x86 meets FPGA
The Intel(r) Atom(tm) E6x5C processor series pairs an Intel(r) Atom(tm) E6x5 series processor with an Altera Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in a single package. This is an entirely new approach to embedded x86 technologies with the potential to dramatically change the way in which embedded devices are designed in the future.
