Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:

Where can one find a list of vendors who sell sockets and packages (CQFP parts) that can be used with Xilinx FPGAs and CPLDs?


Solution 1:

There is a list of socket vendors in the Xilinx data book in the
chapter called "Packages and Thermal Characteristics".

The table lists manufacturers known to offer sockets for Xilinx
Package types. This summary does not imply an endorsement by
Xilinx. Each user has the responsibility to evaluate and
approve a particular socket manufacturer.

see:
July 1996 DataBook (version 1.0) pg. 11-25
Sept 1996 DataBook (Version 1.1) pg. 10-25
Jan 1998 DataBook (version 2.0) pg. 10-20
Feb 1999 DataBook (version 2.1) pg. 11-21
