Xilinx announced that its Virtex-7 H580T FPGA, the world’s first heterogeneous All Programmable 3D IC, won the “3D Products (Design/Process)” category in this year’s 3D InCites Awards, which recognize the companies that are revolutionizing the 3D IC industry and which were presented last week by 3D InCites and TechSearch International during the SEMICON West conference.
The Virtex-7 H580T FPGA was recognized for its contributions to advancing the state-of-the-art 3D IC technology during the past year. Like other Xilinx All Programmable 3D IC devices, the Virtex-7 H580T FPGA addresses the challenges of interconnecting multiple FPGAs utilizing Xilinx’s Stacked Silicon Interconnect (SSI) technology, enabling high-bandwidth connectivity between multiple die and providing a 100x improvement in inter-die bandwidth per watt compared to multi-chip approaches.
The 3D InCites Awards program was established in 2013 by 3D InCites and TechSearch International to recognize achievements to further the commercialization of 2.5D and 3D IC technologies. This year’s award raised $5000 for the Frances B. Hugle Engineering Scholarship, which encourages young women to pursue engineering careers.
