Xilinx Footprint Library for Expedition

Implement RocketIO multi-gigabit serial transceivers for Xilinx FPGAs

As part of the serial, multi-gigabit trend, Xilinx FPGAs with high-speed RocketIO™ serial transceivers are finding their way into hundreds of new applications. In an effort to make multi-gigabit interconnect implementation as painless as possible, Xilinx and Mentor Graphics have teamed up to provide the Xilinx footprint library for Expedition. Preconfigured footprints and symbols can be implemented in your design flow immediately, saving hours of library set up time.

Key features:

• Fully functional Xilinx footprint library
• Each footprint has been created and verified in accordance with Xilinx-recommended PCB design rules
• Optional via breakout patterns included to speedup routing time
• Includes silkscreen and assembly graphics data for manufacturing documentation
• Package outline and height information for online DRC checking
• Complete padstacks with solder mask and paste data
