• The Xilinx® Artix®-7 family of FPGAs has redefined cost-sensitive solutions by cutting power consumption in half from the previous generation while providing best-in-class transceivers and signal processing capabilities for high bandwidth applications. Built on the 28nm HPL process, these devices deliver best in class performance- per-watt. Together with the MicroBlaze(TM) soft processor, Artix-7 FPGAs are ideal for products like portable medical equipment, military radios, and compact wireless infrastructure. Artix-7 FPGAs meet the needs of size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) sensitive markets like avionics and communications Xilinx FPGA Families(1)

Artix-7 FPGA Family
Artix-7 FPGA Block diagram
Features of Artix-7 FPGAs • It runs on the production-ascertained 28nm process, quality, and architecture. • The Artix 7 FPGA possesses the 6.6 GB/s transceivers that enable peaks of 211 GB/s bandwidths. • It also has double and single differential input/output standards clocking speeds of up to 1.25 GB/s. • Has the MicroBlaze soft 32-bit RISC architecture that backs embedded processing • The XC7A100T FPGA supports numerous configuration options that include commodity memory support, 256-bit AES encryption, complete with HMAC built-in SEU correction and detection besides authentication. • 50% lower total power compared to previous generation • Sub-watt performance ranging from 13,000–200,000 logic cells • 2X logic, 2.5X block RAM, 5.7X more DSP slices than Spartan®-6 FPGAs • Lowest-power Industrial speed grade offering (-1LI) • Over 200DMIPs of processing power, plus drag n’ drop peripherals with MicroBlaze soft processor Xilinx Artix-7 CLB
Basic Components of the Slice
DSP Slice in Artix-7 FPGA • Apart from the slices which make up the CLBs discussed above, the Artix-7 also contains DSP slices. The Artix-7 we are using contains 700 DSP48E1 slices. Each DSP48E1 slice contains a pre-adder, a 25 x 18 multiplier, an adder, and an accumulator. A picture of a DSP slice can be seen in the Figure below.

Applications
MEDICAL Applications(Portable Ultrasound) • Designers can deploy a fully programmable 64-channel portable ultrasound implementation that scales up to 196 or 256 channels for high-end cart solutions or down to 32 channels for hand-held form factors. AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE: SECURE SOFTWARE-DEFINED RADIO • The Artix-7 FPGA delivers the industry’s most integrated Type-1 single-chip cryptography (SCC) solution for superior, secure SWaP-C results. Extensive DSP resources allow for waveform processing capacity to integrate both the modem and cryptographic engine on a single chip. INDUSTRIAL: PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER • The Artix-7 FPGA delivers the industry’s most integrated Type- 1 single-chip cryptography (SCC) solution for superior, secure SWaP- C results.
