Xilinx Artix® UltraScale+™ devices are the industry’s only cost-optimized FPGAs based on an advanced, production-proven 16nm architecture for best-in-class performance/watt. Devices are enhanced with packaging innovation for ultra-compact form factor and compute density.

With up to 16Gb/s transceivers for advanced protocols, and the highest DSP performance in its class, Artix UltraScale+ FPGAs match I/O bandwidth to compute to maximize system performance for cost-sensitive and low-power applications in machine vision, secure networking, 4K broadcast, and a range of Industrial IoT and edge markets.

Key Features & Benefits

Ultra-Compact Packaging

Artix UltraScale+ FPGAs are the industry’s only FPGA available in Integrated Fan-Out (InFO) for small form factor packaging (9.5x11.5mm). 70% smaller and 70% thinner than chip-scale packaging, Artix UltraScale+ FPGAs with InFO packaging deliver class-leading compute density, including serial I/O bandwidth and DSP compute/mm2. InFO packaging also improves thermal and power distribution, flight times, and signal integrity.

Serial I/O Performance

Artix UltraScale+ FPGAs offer up to 16Gb/s transceivers for advanced and emerging protocols in networking, video, and vision. Standards support includes PCIe® Gen4, 10GE Vision, CoaXPress 2.1, and 12G-SDI. The production-proven transceiver architecture includes power optimizations over 7 series FPGAs and equalization technology for optimal signal integrity.

DSP Compute

The most advanced FPGA DSP architecture in a cost-optimized device, Artix UltraScale+ DSP slices are optimized for both fixed- and floating-point computation, supporting diverse forms of compute for image and video processing, real-time control, wireless processing, and AI inference. The family more than doubles the DSP compute of Artix-7 FPGAs and competing FPGAs in its class.

Safety and Security

Multi-level safeguards ensure Artix UltraScale+ FPGAs maintain the highest level of cybersecurity and IP protection. The architecture provides RSA-4096 Authentication, NIST-certified AES-CGM Decryption, DPA countermeasures, anti-tamper configuration, security monitor IP to adapt as security threats change across the product’s life cycle.

MIPI and LVDS Performance

As the only cost-optimized FPGA in the industry that offers up to 2.5Gb/s of MIPI performance, the Artix UltraScale+ family supports the most advanced camera sensor capture and display. Complete MIPI IP and reference design solutions are also available here. The family’s LVDS performance also enables a range of other protocols including SLVS-EC (for CMOS image sensors).

Scalability

Production-proven UltraScale architecture built on TSMC’s 16nm low power FinFET process, allows scalability to Kintex® UltraScale+ and Virtex® UltraScale+ families. Developers can leverage the same IP, tool flow, and ecosystem to preserve design investment enabling a reusable platform across a multi-product portfolio.
