An FPGA or SoC is often the heart of a high speed digital design. Schematic and PCB design with large FPGA’s involves high speed I/O, multiple power supply rails, and heat dissipation consideration.

Our recent design experience includes FPGA’s from Xilinx and Altera:

• Zynq Ultrascale+ – ZU15
• Zynq – 7015, 7030, 7045
• Virtex7 – 330T, 485T
• Kintex – K160T, K325T, K410T
• Artix – A15T, A75T, A200T
• Spartan6 – S16, S25, S50, S100T, S150T
• Cyclone V GX C7, SX C6

 

High Speed design features include:

• GTH transceivers operating at speeds to 16Gbps
