Xilinx Virtex-5QV Rad-Hard Reconfigurable FPGA
Xilinx introduced the Virtex-5QV high-density, rad-hard reconfigurable FPGA. The off-the-shelf Xilinx Virtex-5QV FPGA offers the industry’s highest density, performance and integration capabilities for complex systems that would otherwise require rad-hard ASIC devices with their high development costs and long lead times, or traditional one-time programmable (OTP) solutions. The Xilinx Virtex-5QV FPGA is ideal for low earth-orbiting satellites and systems supporting inter-planetary missions. The Virtex-5QV device will be sampling this quarter with general production availability planned for first half calendar year 2011.
