Xilinx® was the first FPGA company to recognize the market
potential for FPGAs in high-volume, low-cost systems. In
1998, Xilinx released the very first FPGA designed for these
systems – the Spartan™ device family. Today, the Spartan
series of FPGAs are broadly adopted in high-volume consumer
applications, with more than 100 million units
shipped and more than $1 billion in cumulative revenue.
With the latest release of the Spartan-3E family, Xilinx
has reduced the cost of the Spartan device 30X since its
introduction, while offering more platform features that
enable higher levels of integration.
Xilinx recognizes that an important part of high-volume
PLDs is the non-volatile CPLD solution. The Xilinx portfolio
of CPLD products is one of the most comprehensive in
the industry – ranging from lowest cost XC9500/XL devices
to the ultra-low-power CoolRunner™-II device family. This
has allowed us to grow our market share in the CPLD market
for 16 consecutive annualized quarters, propelling Xilinx
to the number-two position in the CPLD market.
Xilinx conceived of and developed the market for highvolume
programmable logic products. In this issue of the
Xcell Journal, you’ll find articles about products and applications
within this market – with many contributions from
satisfied customers.
