Overview |
|
Xilinx provides user-parameterizable LogiCORE Reed-Solomon encoder and decoder cores
for customers designing digital communication, mass storage, and multimedia systems.
By using Xilinx Reed-Solomon solution users can significantly reduce implementation
cost and accelerate time-to-market compared to fixed function ASSP alternatives.
The cores support Xilinx Virtex/-E, Spartan-II, Spartan/-XL and XC4000 FPGA families.
Implemented in Spartan-II, the Reed-Solomon solution costs less than $10 in high-volume
making it ideal for many emerging high-volume markets. Click here for FAQ, data sheets, configuration demo, and other links. |
More information on |
The Basics of Reed-SolomonReed-Solomon is a type of Forward Error Correction (FEC) commonly used in data transmission and storage applications, such as wireless communication units, DSL modems, Digital TV, RAID, DVB and DVD products. By adding redundancy before data transmission and storage, a Reed-Solomon codec (encoder/decoder) can detect and correct errors for blocks of data. There are many different standards that are used in different applications, for example DVB, ATSC, and IESS-308. |

Xilinx Smart-IP Technology |
|
The definition for Xilinx Smart-IP technology is a combination of:
The result is predictable design implementation where performance and functionality are consistent independently of core placement, number of cores used, surrounding user logic, device size, and used EDA tools. Xilinx Smart-IP Technology is vital for successful system-on-a-chip designs. |
