For ARM architecture development.
The DNV7F4A is a complete logic prototyping system that enables ASIC or IP designers a vehicle to prototype logic and memory designs for a fraction of the cost of existing solutions. The DNV7F4A is a stand-alone system and can be hosted by 4-lane PCIe cable (GEN2), USB or Ethernet. A single DNV7F4A configured with four Virtex-7, 7V2000Ts can emulate up to 56 million gates of logic as measured by a reasonable ASIC gate counting standard. Two DNV7F4A can be linked together, doubling this gate count to 112 million seamlessly.The gate count estimate number does not include embedded memories and multipliers resident in the FPGA fabric. One hundred percent (100%) of the Virtex-7 FPGA resources are available to the user application. The DNV7F4A achieves high gate density and allows for fast target clock frequencies by utilizing FPGAs from Xilinx's 28nm Virtex-7 family.
