"The combination of Xilinx high-performance FPGAs and comprehensive ISE software tools provided us the low risk and feature-rich capability we needed to introduce a ground breaking networking product without employing custom ASICs."
- Homayoun Valizadeh, VP of Engineering, Bivio Networks

"The ease of use, place and route time, quality of results, and timing driven layout of the Xilinx ISE software tools were essential to the success of our design. This software is truly phenomenal."
- Dave Roth, Engineering Director, Allegro Networks

"The reconfigurable nature of Xilinx FPGAs offer time-to-market and design flexibility we just couldn't achieve with a traditional ASIC or any other programmable logic vendor. The intuitive ISE software allowed us to optimize designs for specific customer solutions. The combination of first class software and state of the art silicon made our decision an easy one."
- Ken Romano, Director, Hardware Engineering, Photon Vision Systems

"With NC-Sim, Synplify and the Xilinx ISE tools we have significantly sped-up our development and verification efforts, and we are able to provide customers of Intellitech's
TEST-IP(TM) family of embedded test products with the highest quality designs."
- Mike Ricchetti, CTO, Intellitech Corporation

"ISE 6.1i includes enhanced support for native Red Hat Linux operating systems which enables us to support a growing number of clients who are demanding a industry standard Linux solution. With its improved reports and low memory consumption, ISE 6.1i has helped us fine tune the compilation time of our emulation systems. We have successfully run the software with our nightly regression tests consisting of over 6,000 FPGA compilations."
- Keith Howard, Vice President of Products and Custom Engineering, Axis Systems

"Cadence and Xilinx continue to provide innovative verification solutions to enable our mutual customers to get their FPGAs programmed faster. ISE 6.1i provides enhanced simulation libraries and hierarchical netlist structure, which allow faster and more efficient verification. The Cadence Incisive simulator now utilizes those simulation libraries and netlists more efficiently, resulting in improved simulation runtimes of up to 30 percent faster. These enhancements are equally appealing to the mainstream FPGA designers that are beginning to demand higher performance and capacity from the simulators on the Windows platform."
- Rahul Razdan, Corporate Vice President and General Manager, Systems Verification group, Cadence Design Systems

"Through the integration of ISE 6.1i and our PlanAhead software, FPGA designers have a tool flow that's virtually indistinguishable from an ASIC design flow, and get similar flexibility and productivity enhancements."
- Salil Raje, CTO, Hier Design

"Mentor Graphics is committed to providing our mutual customers superior point tools as well as complete, integrated solutions for FPGA design. With close cooperation between Xilinx and Mentor, our ISE 6.1 integration enables customers to take full advantage of ISE's features, such as the Xilinx place and route, timing analyzer, and power analysis features. This integration reduces learning curves and accelerates time to productivity."
- Simon Bloch, general manager, design creation and synthesis division, Mentor Graphics

"Synplicity and Xilinx understand the challenges associated with complex design and are working together to deliver the most highly optimized solutions for our mutual customers. Leading edge devices like Spartan-3 and Virtex-II Pro from Xilinx have opened up significant new opportunities in electronic applications for programmable logic. These applications require advanced design software like Synplify Pro, Amplify and ISE 6.1i to get the most out of the silicon. We believe our customers will experience a substantial increase in performance and logic utilization when using this combined software solution."
- Jeff Garrison, director of FPGA products, Synplicity
