5K – 50K gates coprocessor FPGA

Onlinecomponents.com, an authorized distributor of Atmel products, features the AT40KAL family. The family is fully PCI-compliant and designed to quickly implement high-performance, large gate count designs through the use of synthesis and schematic-based tools used on a PC or Sun platform. Atmel’s design tools provide seamless integration with industry standard tools such as Synplicity, ModelSim, Exemplar and Viewlogic.

The AT40KAL  is SRAM-based FPGAs with distributed 10 ns programmable synchronous/asynchronous, dual-port/single-port SRAM, 8 global clocks, Cache Logic ability (partially or fully reconfigurable without loss of data), automatic component generators, and range in size from 5,000 to 50,000 usable gates. I/O counts range from 128 to 384 in industry standard packages ranging from 84-pin PLCC to 352-ball Square BGA, and support 3.3 V designs.

The AT40KAL can be used as a coprocessor for high-speed (DSP/processor-based) designs by implementing a variety of computation intensive, arithmetic functions. These include adaptive finite impulse response (FIR) filters, fast Fourier transforms (FFT), convolvers, interpolators and discrete-cosine transforms (DCT) that are required for video compression and decompression, encryption, convolution and other multimedia applications.
