PHOENIX -- Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas, a business region of Avnet, Inc. (NYSE:AVT), has been awarded an Editor's Choice award in the June issue of Military Embedded Systems (MES) magazine for the Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA DSP Development Kit.
"Companies have to spend a lot to keep up with the times," said Chris A. Ciufo, group editorial director, Military and Aerospace Group, OpenSystems Media. "Using reprogrammable FPGAs in DSP applications can help companies stay on the cusp of technology by saving some hardware expense, but the programming and development costs associated with FPGAs can be high. That's undoubtedly why Avnet Electronics Marketing created its Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA DSP Development Kit."
Avnet's Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA DSP Development Kit is "perfectly suited for military, wireless and other compute-intensive applications where high performance is a must. The kit comprises Virtex-6 FPGAs, DSP IP, a scalable development board, cables, documentation, and DSP development tools. The kit is even touted to offer up to a 10x productivity boost. Other features include time division multiplexing, clock over sampling, and DSP48 slice utilization for high performance as well as included testbenches, design synthesis parameters, and Simulink and RTL design source files," says Ciufo.
"This recognition helps to further solidify Avnet's position in the Mil/Aero marketplace," said Jim Beneke, vice president, global technical marketing at Avnet Electronics Marketing. "The Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA DSP Development Kit is ideal for helping military and aerospace designers explore the high-performance capabilities of the Virtex-6 FPGA family. This Avnet-created targeted reference design enables a quick start to either RTL or model-based design flows, helping designers create advanced solutions in radar, Software Defined Radio (SDR), wireless communications, and general signal processing applications."
