Xilinx is the leader in the military embedded market for Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology. From first inventing the FPGA back in 1985 to the first to field FINFET FPGA technology today, they have been a consistent leader in bringing cutting edge technology to market with long life cycles, military grade options and powerful development tools.
Today’s embedded, aerospace and defense industries rely heavily on modern commercial technology to meet the demanding power, size, and performance requirements of today’s digital signal processing systems. Xilinx introduces new technology roughly every two years, tracking most major silicon geometry releases. Their devices offer the latest in SERDES technology, DSP building blocks, embedded block memory, sophisticated IO, security features and flexible 2.5D technology.
As a Xilinx Partner, Curtiss-Wright works closely with Xilinx to select the most optimal FPGAs for our embedded products. These processors are large enough to perform the necessary DSP processing but fit within the thermal envelope needed to fully ruggedize. The parts enjoy long life availability and meet the high reliability requirements that Curtiss-Wright products demand for the long-term success of your programs.
