Xilinx Designing with the Virtex-5 LX Platform LPGA Course by TSI

Designing with the Virtex-5 LX Platform FPGA
Interested in learning how to effectively utilize Virtex™-5 FPGA architectural resources? Targeted towards experienced Xilinx users who have already completed Fundamentals of FPGA Design and Designing for Performance and have a comprehensive knowledge of Virtex-4 FPGAs, this course focuses on understanding as well as designing into several of the new and enhanced resources found in our newest device.

Topics covered include a Virtex-5 FPGA overview, new CLB, DCM and PLL, global and regional clocking techniques, memory, DSP and arithmetic logic, and source-synchronous resources. A combination of modules and labs allow for practical hands-on application of the principles taught.

Note: Recorded e-Learning modules will also be available. For all other regions, only the recorded e-Learning modules will be available. Also note that the initial course material covers the Virtex-5 LX FPGA ...DOWNLOAD XILINX DESIGNING WITH THE VIRTEX-5 LX PLATFORM COURSE DETAIL

LAB DESCRIPTION

The labs will provide practical hands-on application
of the principles taught throughout the course.

Lab 1: Clocking Resources. In this lab, you will create a PLL core by using the Architecture Wizard to generate a PLL core to instantiate in your design. You will then simulate the PLL core to verify functionality.

Lab 2: DSP48E Resources. In this lab, you will create a Multiplexer by using the XtremeDSP™ technology (DSP48E) resource through primitive instantiation. You will then simulate the resources to verify functionality.
