FPGA Is Claimed As World’s Fastest

Overall speed is said to be improved by 13% over the firm’s current fastest speed grade for its SX FPGAs and by 35% when compared to the standard SX speed grade. The process modifications employed to achieve the speed grade include antifuse FPGAs with approximately 35% lower capacitance. The clock to out is 3.7 ns, with system performance at 270 MHz. When implemented as an SX16P -3 FPGA, 66-MHz PCI is said to the easily accomplished. SX devices are well-suited for the performance demands of the high-speed telecomm and data networking applications.
