This issue's cover story examines how Xilinx halved the power consumption of its 7 series devices through an FPGA-optimized, 28nm silicon manufacturing process and device architecture optimization. The issue also contains a variety of feature articles, including a detailed look at how fusion researchers in the U.K. are developing a data acquisition system for synthetic-aperture imaging using the latest Xilinx AXI4 point-to-point interconnect technology, and how researchers in Japan are using the Virtex®-5 and National Instruments LabVIEW to develop next-generation 3D OCT (optic coherence tomography) imaging for real-time optical biopsies.
"We have a fantastic range of articles in this issue of Xcell Journal," said Xcell Journal Publisher, Mike Santarini. "The cover story examines how Xilinx has made huge strides in power consumption and power management in its 7 series devices, while several how-to articles present readers with some very handy lessons. One piece shows readers how to optimize reset structures to improve design performance, while another describes a handy way to archive designs and tool revisions."
Once again, Xcell Journal invites readers to write a humorous caption for an interesting cartoon for a chance to win an Avnet Spartan®-6 LX9 MicroBoard. After deliberations, Xcell's staff will award the kit to the author of the best caption and two runners-up. See contest rules at http://www.xilinx.com/publications/xcellonline/Xcell_Contest_Terms.pdf
