In recent years, with the rapid development of the domestic chip market, the demand for chip verification, simulation, and testing has also increased, and the complexity has greatly increased. Under this circumstance, the shortage of large-scale chip verification platforms in the domestic market and the problem of insufficient performance have become increasingly prominent.

In August 2019, Xilinx launched the largest capacity FPGA, the Virtex UltraScale+ VU19P. With 35 billion transistors, it has the highest logic density and the largest number of I/Os ever on a single chip, and can support the simulation and prototyping of the most advanced ASIC and SoC technologies in the future. At the same time, it also widely supports related applications such as test measurement, computing, and networking.

高端 FPGA 新标杆显著提升开发效率

As one of the first companies in the world to use FPGA chips, NewZhi Huasang Electronics has always been committed to applying the most advanced FPGA technology to its PHINEDesign FPGA prototyping platform. The first three generations of this platform were developed based on the Xilinx FPGA platform.

At the beginning of the launch of Xilinx VU19P, Xinzhi Huasang joined the product early trial program and applied it to the research and development design of the fourth-generation prototype verification platform. At the end of 2020, Xinzhi Huasang's fourth-generation PHINEDesign platform based on Xilinx VU19P, NE-VU19P-LSI, came into being.

NE-VU19P-LSI Prototype Verification Platform

The new NE-VU19P-LSI improves the verification efficiency of some ASIC prototypes or large-scale SoC development by up to 30%. For customers who need large-scale verification, the new platform can save nearly 50% of the resource partitioning workload, thereby greatly shortening the verification cycle and accelerating the customer's product launch time.

The new generation NE-VU19P-LSI platform has many leading features

• A total of more than 1,800 I/Os, connected through the FMC standard connector, compatible with standard daughter cards from major manufacturers such as Xilinx, providing users with a rich selection of expansion interfaces; at the same time, Xinzhi Huasang also equips customers with various FMC daughter cards suitable for prototype verification.

• 48 high-speed GTY transceivers, up to 25Gbps. Can be expanded through FMC or SLIMSAS. Guaranteed high-speed SERDES performance, while the interface form is more convenient for multi-system cascade expansion without causing pin redundancy.

• FMC I/O with adjustable voltage can adapt to various external interface debugging.

• Can expand multiple DDR4/DDR3 and other memory cards, the rate can reach FPGA nominal 2400Mbps.

• Rich global clock and reset resources can support various frequency application scenarios. It can meet the verification requirements of multiple clock domains and the clock homology requirements when multiple interconnections are used.

• Flexible host computer management software provides intuitive and convenient interface operation.

• Also provides command line execution mode.

Since 2014, Xilinx has been working closely with Xinzhi Huasang, using the world's top FPGAs to continuously help Xinzhi Huasang bring the most advanced FPGA verification platform to domestic users. In the future, the two parties will continue to collaborate to provide strong support for related IC designs in today's explosively growing 5G, medical, consumer electronics and other fields.
