subject: Xilinx 40nm Virtex-6fpga Series Of Mass Production - Xilinx, Fpga, Umc - Electronics Industry [print this page] And the world's leading Semiconductor Foundries Lianhua Electronic (UMC (NYSE: UMC; TSE: 2303)) today announced that UMC 40nm process high-performance Virtex -6FPGA, has been entirely through pre-production verification. This is both engineering team to further enhance the yield, increase reliability and shorten the production cycle to work Cooperation Results. Virtex-6 series through the production of validation, means UMC released in March 2009 following the first device based on 40nm process, the formal process into the production.
"For our long-term foundry partner UMC continued implementation capacity, and we highly appreciate," Xilinx Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and president of MosheGavrielov said, "Before this, the long-term close cooperation by both sides We have several generations of successful production of the industry's leading FPGA family. "
"Today, the success of 40nm, is the UMC and Xilinx FPGA has long been the launching of a number of leading a product line extension." UMC Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dr. Sun Shiwei, said, "Today 40nmVirtex -6 series production was verified, it is our continued commitment to Xilinx Inc. and the two companies reflect the long-term partnership. "
Using third-generation Xilinx ASMBL architecture of Virtex-6 FPGA series, and compared to other competitors 40nmFPGA, performance improved by 15%, 50% lower power consumption. The core operation of the voltage is 1.0v, 0.9v also have options for low-power program, also has a new generation of development tools ISEDesign Suite Version 11 and Virtex-5 family of FPGA IP library has broad support ensure greater R & D productivity and a smooth design transplant.
"Virtex-6FPGA series to reach the production milestone points, means that we have a stable and predictable yield, you can do to meet our customers growing needs." Xilinx's global quality management and new product introduction, senior vice president Tang Liren (VincentTong) said, "All this is inseparable from the efforts of cooperation UMC. through the use of a new generation of Xilinx FPGA UMC diagnostic tools and the rapid learning tools convert the information (info-turnyield learningvehicles), we realized in 40nm process product yield and quality significantly improved. "
Mr. Tang Liren said, Virtex-6 series, also attributed to the early success of the cooperation verify contacts, manufacturability-oriented design and efficient test tool program (testvehicleprocess). Previous generations of products by working closely with the experience learned from the Xilinx and UMC engineering team succeeded in Virtex-6 series published to the production cycle than the Virtex-5 series, a quarter of a whole shortened?? 3 months.
"Virtex-6 to secure the production of validation is both Xilinx and UMC engineers work closely to overcome the great challenges of 40nm high-performance technical achievements." UMC's advanced technology development, Deputy President Chien, (SCChien ) said, "companies with the process of Xilinx, UMC invested a lot of engineering talent and resources, such as customized products according to the other device's specifications, in order to obtain a more stable yield available-for-manufacturing design (DFM), to improve the quality and use of rapid information transfer tool (fastinfo-turnvehicle), also provides a rapid diagnostic method. This exciting milestone event is the both of us working together to return. "
