And the beat goes on.

About a year ago, we introduced a product called Virtex™. It was the highest performance, highest density programmable logic family ever developed and offered a feature set never before thought possible. We ushered in this exciting new FPGA architecture with the statement "We've given programmable logic a heartbeat". Since then, Virtex has pumped new life into designs ranging from Data Communications to Embedded systems, Industrial Controls to Consumer applications. But that was then, and this is now...

Introducing Virtex-E. The next generation in logic leadership.

Based on the unprecedented success of our first generation Virtex family, Xilinx has taken this now proven architecture and turned up the dial in both density and performance. By building the "E" on a 0.18um 6 layer metal process, Virtex can now deliver 2 million system gates supporting bandwidth for multiple 10 Gbps data ports and 266 Mhz Double Data Rate Memory. All in a single device. That means Virtex-E delivers speeds and densities which, until now, were reserved exclusively for ASICs.

But the enhancements to Virtex-E don't stop there. For system timing we've doubled the number of DLLs to eight, we've also increased the amount of True Dual-Port™ block RAM to 640 Kbits, and added three differential I/O standards including LVDS, Bus LVDS and LVPECL for a total of 20 supported standards.

In parallel with the introduction of Virtex-E, Xilinx has released Alliance v2.1i™ Series Software. Offering compile times over twice as fast as its predecessor, v2.1i ensures total design control and flexibility. Couple this with the most complete suite of pre-verified cores in the programmable business, and it's no wonder why Virtex has taken the industry by storm.

Want to pump some new life into your next design? It all starts with Virtex-E.


The leader of "the pack".

It's all About CPLD Value

No, we haven't traded in our XC9500 family of CPLDs for a Harley and the freedom of an open road. But, after years of cruisin' down the CPLD innovation highway, delivering features like FastFLASH™, Pin-Locking and 3.3 volt technology, we've decided to go "full-throttle" in offering even more for your dollar. That's why we're riding with "the PACK".

Introducing WebPACK™. Some really "suite" software.

WebPACK is a collection of downloadable software modules that offer the best possible CPLD development solution while guaranteeing complete EDA tool flexibility. Together, these modules create an integrated design environment, or, when run individually, work in conjunction with other EDA tools for synthesis, simulation and schematic capture programs. This gives you the option of using your existing familiar tools and simply interfacing them to our CPLD solution.

Take for example design entry. WebPACK provides complete VHDL, Verilog™ and ABEL™ synthesis. Just grab it off the web and download it to your desktop. And for optimized results, we've included our extensive suite of implementation tools. From Design Manager to ChipViewer™, they'll make fitting a breeze. Last, but certainly not least, programming and test are a cinch with our JTAG Programmer.

But the best news of all? It's all on WebPACK and it's all free!

Xilinx XC9500 CPLDs and WebPACK. All the excitement of riding a Harley, without the bugs!


I chose a part. I chose a partner

In today's rapidly changing technology climate, choosing a strategic partner means more than simply buying a part, because it's a safe bet that what solves your problem today probably won't solve your problem tomorrow.

Our solution? It's simple. Offer each and every device necessary to address the needs of our customers, for today's design challenges and those of the next millennium.

Starting with our XC9500 CPLD and Spartan™ device families for truly cost effective ASIC replacement, to Virtex™, the industry's first one million gate FPGA, Xilinx offers a programmable logic solution ideally suited to your specific design.

And when it comes to development system software, you'll have even more to smile about! Both Xilinx Foundation™ and Alliance™ Series Software solutions are built on one common platform, so they not only look the same and work the same, they both deliver the industry's fastest compile times!

If this all sounds pretty easy, that's because it is. We made it easy by spending over 12% of our annual revenue on R&D. That's equal to the combined spending of our two nearest competitors. All to ensure that our customers have access to the broadest selection of programmable logic devices available anywhere. That's how we became the leader.

Take a look at our website and see the whole drama unfold. You'll learn why the leading company's don't just choose a part they choose a partner. They choose Xilinx.
