Virtex (FPGA)

Virtex is the flagship family of FPGA products currently developed by AMD, originally Xilinx before being acquired by the former.[1] Other current product lines include Kintex (mid-range) and Artix (low-cost), each including configurations and models optimized for different applications.[2] In addition, AMD offers the Spartan low-cost series, which continues to be updated and is nearing production utilizing the same underlying architecture and process node as the larger 7-series devices.[3]

Virtex FPGAs are typically programmed in hardware description languages such as VHDL or Verilog, using the Xilinx ISE or Vivado computer software.[4]

Xilinx FPGA products have been recognized by EE Times, EDN and others for innovation and market impact.[5][6][7]
