Xilinx at Work - Printers

Xilinx Solution Summary

Xilinx programmable logic products deliver significant design value to the world of printers.  Providing flexible system interfaces to the various silicon components of the whole printer solution is a vital contribution.  Along with resolving data alignment and delivering key control signals, programmable logic forms an alterable "system controller" including memory control, bus control and clock distribution functions. 

Xilinx XC9500XL CoolRunner™ and Spartan™XL and Spartan™-II FPGAs permit designers to change their design and evolve the exact functionality needed to best extract full value from their microprocessors, memories and Application Specific Standard Products (ASSPs).  This is all done with minimum effort using Xilinx design software for PC and workstation environments.  In system programming permits these changes to be made at will. 

Along with silicon and software, Xilinx offers a number of LogiCORE™ solutions that provide additional time to market benefits with today's fast paced design cycles.
