Xilinx introduces the world's highest performance adaptive device for driver assistance systems and autonomous driving

Nov 13, 2019

November 12, 2019, Beijing, China-Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ:XLNX), a global leader in adaptive and intelligent computing, today announced the launch of two Xilinx automotive grades (XA) The new devices Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC 7EV and 11EG further enrich its automotive-grade 16nm product series. These two new devices provide the most excellent programmability, performance and I/O functions, and provide high-speed data aggregation and preprocessing for advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) applications and autonomous driving (AD) applications from L2+ to L4 And distribution (DAPD) function and calculation acceleration function. Through the release of these two new products, Xilinx can now provide the highest level of chip integration in the world. From small devices supporting edge sensors to new high-performance devices for centralized domain controllers, Xilinx can now pass Provide a full range of product lines to meet various automotive requirements for safety, quality and reliability.

The newly launched XA Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC 7EV and 11EG devices are the result of development in response to customer needs. The new device provides more than 650,000 programmable logic units and nearly 3,000 DSP units, an increase of 2.5 times compared with the previous largest device. In addition, XA 7EV has a built-in video codec unit for h.264/h.265 codec, while XA 11EG has built-in 32 12.5Gb/s transceivers and provides 4 PCIe®Gen3x16 modules. The addition of these two high-performance devices to Xilinx Automotive and its product series can help automakers, robotic taxi developers, and Tier 1 suppliers perform DAPD and computing acceleration within a certain range of power consumption, thereby supporting scalable scale Production deployment of autonomous vehicles.

Emre Onder, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Xilinx, said: "The two new devices introduced in Xilinx's automotive product portfolio will further expand our market-tested product line. In response to customer requests, we have enriched XA products. Series to meet the complex needs of today’s ADAS and autonomous driving systems. With these new products joining the Zynq UltraScale+ product family, Xilinx can provide unparalleled processing flexibility and scalability to meet today’s rapidly changing needs. No matter what the customer wants Whether the L1 system or the L4 system is being developed, we can provide suitable solutions for their needs."

The XA Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC product portfolio has passed the AEC-Q100 test specification certification, integrated Xilinx programmable logic, and passed the ASIL-C level certification in the low-power domain, and the feature-rich 64-bit quad-core Arm® Cortex ®™-A53 and dual-core Arm Cortex-R5 processing system. Combining these functions, coupled with the powerful data throughput capabilities provided by new devices, can accelerate the deployment of autonomous vehicles. So far, Xilinx has provided more than 67 million sets of automotive-grade solutions for ADAS systems and AD automotive manufacturing to more than 200 automotive companies, including global Tier 1 suppliers, OEM manufacturers and start-ups.

The new XA Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC device is available today. For a complete technical introduction to the XA series, please visit here. All XA devices are supported by Xilinx's new unified software platforms Vitis™ and Vitis AI. The above-mentioned platform can help many developers to easily benefit from the powerful flexibility of Xilinx hardware.
