Subject: Product Change Notification (PCN00002A). "A change
in the assembly and test flows used to manufacture the Xilinx CoolRunner
(C-grade and I-grade) product families".
Products Affected: All CoolRunner product (except the
new XPLA3 family)
Change Description: PCN00002
previously issued on January 30, 2000, announced the change in the assembly
and test flows used to manufacture the Xilinx CoolRunner product families.
Since then some of the assembly locations listed in PCN00002 have changed.
This PCN (PCN00002A) is being issued to provide an update on these assembly
location changes, reference the attached updated
listing.
Note that all assembly and test flows will reside at qualified Xilinx
and subcontractor sites and use qualified material sets (die attach epoxies,
wire bond processes, mold compounds, etc.).
Wafer production will continue at the same wafer manufacturing sources,
using the same mask sets and probe test programs as used by Philips, so
there will be no change in the form, fit or function of the CoolRunner
devices.
Qualification Data: Qualification data for the various
assembly options can be found in the Xilinx quarterly reliability report
at: "http://www.xilinx.com/products/qa_data/relreprt.pdf."
Reason For Change: Xilinx purchased the CoolRunner line
from Philips in August 1999 and is moving production of this product line
into the Xilinx assembly and test flows. This will require a change in
the nomenclature of the devices, and hence in the ordering codes used to
procure these devices. A complete cross index of part numbers is available
on the Xilinx web site at "http://www.xilinx.com/products/coolpld/xref.htm."
Key Dates: Xilinx has begun shipping CoolRunner devices
with the Xilinx designations. Product may be ordered with the Philips assembly
and test flows (and part markings) until:
