Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA



The Virtex™-5 is the latest generation of FPGA from Xilinx®, where the process technology used to fabricate the chip has been reduced from 90nm in the previous generation to just 65nm. It is the second generation of Xilinx FPGA to use the ASMBL™ (pronounced “assemble”) [Advanced Silicon Modular Block] column-based architecture that enables Xilinx to fabricate four FPGA platforms with varying feature mixes suitable to different application areas.
