Subject: Process Discontinuation Notification (PCN96010).
"Discontinuation of the XC2000 Product Families (all speed grades and package
options including B-Grade and SMD [Standard Military Drawing] Devices)."
Products Affected: All XC2018 and XC2064 Products
Change Description: The above XC2000 family is being discontinued.
Reason For Change: The XC2000 product line has been in
continuous production at Xilinx since 1986. Its architecture today is outdated
and the XC2000 family is no longer the lowest cost logic solution available
from Xilinx. It has been surpassed in this capacity by the XC5200 and XC9500
product lines. The XC2000 family has been actively discouraged for new
designs for over one year, and now accounts for less than 2% of Xilinx
revenue.
Key Dates: Last date to order any of the above products
is 1 January 1999 with final delivery on or before 30 June 1999. This allows
more than two years to plan for this product obsolescence.
Response: No response to this notification is required.
Requests for additional data or support should be made within 90 days of
notification. Please address any questions you may have via email at "pcn@xilinx.com",
or directly by fax at 408 559 1368.
