37 Million ASIC Gates for High Speed Prototyping

August 11, 2010 -- Dini Group introduces the DN2076k10 featuring seven Xilinx, Virtex-6 FPGAs. This complete logic prototyping system can emulate up to 37 million ASIC gates at clock speeds to 700 MHz. The board is designed be used stand-alone and can be hosted by 4-lane PCIe cable, USB, or Ethernet. All interfaces (SATA II, GbE, PCIe, JTAG, etc.) are controlled by an on-board Marvel dual core processor, which provides unmatched user utility for data movement. All FPGA resources are dedicated to the user’s application.

With six LX760 Virtex-6 FPGAs, three DDR3 SODIMM memory sockets, on board dual Sheeva® ARM processors, and an independent configuration FPGA, this board will provide huge gate counts and real time speeds for ASIC prototyping. “This is the most cost effective Xilinx prototyping platform we have ever offered; it has all the gates, interconnects, memories and interfaces you need.” says Mike Dini, President of Dini Group. “It has more gates that run faster, at the lowest cost per gate ever.”

On-board MEG-Array expansion connectors facilitate use of the many Dini Group standard daughter cards and accommodate custom cards easily. Complete specifications may be found at: http://www.dinigroup.com/index.php?code=pr0001

Early delivery will depend on chip availability (ES parts are shipping now) please contact the Dini Group directly for expected shipping schedule.

Established in 1995 as a consulting company developing ASICs for various clients, Dini Group saw the need for cost effective logic emulation platforms and developed several of them. In 1998 they started selling these platforms to ASIC prototypers, FPGA developers, and IP designers. They now provide logic emulation systems with the latest technologies, the fastest speed, and the largest programmable devices. Since 1998 they have helped drive the cost of an ASIC gate from more than one dollar, to less than 1/4 cent. From their offices in La Jolla, Dini Group employees have supplied over five billion ASIC gates.
