FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
XILINX ANNOUNCES NEW FIR FILTER GENERATOR
SAN JOSE, Calif., May 31, 2000 In a move that further expands its leadership in high-end DSP solutions, Xilinx, Inc., (NASDAQ:XLNX), today announced the FIR Filter Generator, a new tool for creating fully optimized and parameterized algorithms for FPGA-based complex filter designs. Customers can now use the tool to design a variety of finite impulse response (FIR) filters in Xilinx Virtex, Virtex-E and Spartan-II FPGAs. Operational performance in the Virtex family exceeds160 billion multiply accumulates (MACs) per second. The FIR Filter Generator tool can generate single-rate, half-band, Hilbert transform and interpolated filters. The Xilinx® FIR Filter Generator uses design techniques such as distributed arithmetic to optimize filter structures for high-end DSP applications such as wireless and xDSL modems, medical imaging, and radar signal processing. By taking advantage of the parallelism inherent in DSP mathematical models, Xilinx has produced the most robust programmable DSP platform ever created, said Rich Sevcik, senior vice president for intellectual property, services and software at Xilinx. The new FIR Filter Generator, combined with the vast logic resources available in our Virtex FPGAs, enable customers to create DSP systems with the utmost in computational power and fastest time to market. The FIR Filter Generator allows users of Xilinx FPGAs to choose from millions of parameter combinations to meet their unique DSP design requirements, from fast, fully parallel systems to cost effective designs optimized for lower sampling rates. Parameters available to designers using the FIR Filter Generator include:
Xilinx DSP also supports more than 20 DSP LogiCORE modules, including filters, correlators, transforms, complex fast Fourier transforms (FFT), forward error correction (FEC), integrators, direct digital synthesizer, math functions, and memories. DSP reference designs, prototyping hardware, application notes and access to full turnkey operations make Xilinx DSP a complete solution for digital signal processing. Pricing and Availability
