6G SERDES, Hardened Communication Engines and Ultra-High Bandwidth DSP[] Blocks Among Innovations for Cost and Power Sensitive Applications in Wireless, Wireline, and Video Markets

Historically, the largest devices that make up an FPGA[] family are the last to be made available to customers. This is a result of the time it takes a new semiconductor process to ramp up and support the yields per wafer that make the largest devices economically viable. Xilinx’s Stacked Silicon Interconnect technology overcomes the challenges of yielding defect-free, large monolithic die by building the world’s largest capacity programmable logic device from four separate FPGA die interconnected upon a passive silicon interposer.
