NEW POWER TOOL AND WEB SEMINAR SHOW XILINX VIRTEX-4 FPGAs CONSUME 1/10th THE POWER OF COMPETING FPGAs

Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) today announced version 4.0 of its web Power Estimator Tool and a new web seminar that demonstrates the significant power consumption advantage of Virtex-4 FPGAs, enabling customers to achieve industry leading performance within their power budget. Customers interested in more information on the power advantages of Virtex-4 FPGAs and attending the February 15 web seminar can register now at www.xilinx.com/virtex4/lowpower.

Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGAs include several breakthrough innovations to reduce power consumption at the 90nm node. The latest data based on extensive measurements of thousands of Virtex-4 devices shows that Virtex-4 FPGAs provide significantly lower power consumption as compared to competing 90nm FPGAs.

• Up to 78 percent lower static power with the industry's first Triple-oxide technology
• Up to 86 percent lower dynamic power with unique transistor and interconnect architecture plus embedded hard IP
• Up to 94 percent lower in-rush power with power-saving configuration circuitry

The new Xilinx Web Power Tool version 4.0 enables designers to estimate power consumption based on temperature and airflow at varying toggle rates. The tool is available now on the Xilinx Power Central website at www.xilinx.com/power

The web seminar will be broadcast live on February 15. Seminar attendees will learn to:

• Achieve industry leading performance while meeting power budgets
• Further reduce static, dynamic and inrush power using the Virtex-4 family's embedded IP, and power-saving configuration circuitry

Additional Resources

• Power Central (www.xilinx.com/power) - a comprehensive web portal for power management including white papers and solutions on consumption, dissipation, distribution, and others.
