FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
XILINX RELEASES PRODUCTION VIRTEX-4 FPGAS
Company leads industry in delivery of production-qualified
90nm devices
SAN JOSE, Calif., January 31, 2005 -Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ:XLNX),
the world's leading provider of programmable solutions, today announced
production qualification of the first three devices in its award-winning
90nm Virtex-4 FPGA family. With the qualification of these devices,
the LX25, LX60, and SX35, Xilinx now has a total of 14 FPGAs in
production at 90nm, more than three times the number of its nearest
competitor. The company leads the PLD industry by more than a year
on 90nm process technology and has shipped over 1.5 million 90nm
devices.
"Our application demanded a unique combination of high-performance
and low power consumption," said Brian Donahoe, president of
Digital Design Corporation, a design services company based in Illinois.
"The Xilinx Virtex-4 LX25 FPGAs were a perfect fit, and their
production release enabled us to meet our aggressive schedule."
"We're very pleased to be delivering the Virtex-4 family ahead
of schedule," said Erich Goetting, vice president and general
manager of the Advanced Products Division at Xilinx. "Our one
year lead on the 90nm node has resulted in one of the fastest product
ramps in company history and our customer base is thrilled with
the results."
Developed using a unique 90nm triple-oxide CMOS technology, the
Xilinx Virtex-4 family provides the industry's highest performance,
with logic, memory, clocking, and signal processing blocks tuned
to 500 MHz performance while reducing power consumption to as little
as 1/10 that of competing devices. Earlier this month, the Virtex-4
family was named "2004 Product of the Year" by Electronic
Products Magazine.
