Background

Xilinx, the recognized technology innovator, has aggressively pursued a strategy to deliver high density and high performance programmable logic solutions. Our devices have consistently expanded the boundaries of speed and density, and our software solution and cores are recognized as best in their class. 

• The new Virtex series devices ranging from 50,000 to 1,000,000 system gates at clock speeds up to 160 MHz. 
• The 4000XV/XL product family, with 0.25 micron technology, providing 500K system gates. 
• The Spartan Series of FPGAs, the best high volume FPGA solution for ASIC replacement. 
• The new lower cost XC9500XL family gives you the industry's best system level performance while maintaining flexibility and routability. 

To take advantage of Xilinx' high density and high performance solutions, our customers are adopting new design methodologies which include HDL Synthesis, verification and use of highly optimized cores to quickly meet their performance and cost targets. 

A good design consultant can help you get a quality product to market as fast as possible, saving you precious time and resources. Consultants bring a wealth of detailed knowledge about specific system technologies, as well as expertise in using the latest programmable logic architectures and development tools. But, how do you know who is available, who you can trust, and who has the expertise you need for your particular design? One solution is the Xilinx XPERTS Program, a program for qualifying, developing and supporting design consultants so you can be assured of the highest quality. Our qualification process is strict, assuring you that XPERTS consultants have superior design skills as well as the ability to work successfully with customers. 

Program Overview & Available Services

XPERTS is a worldwide program that allows an easy access to certified experts in: 

• Xilinx architecture, software and IP solution for optimal design 
  • Real cost saving accrue for you because slower device speed grades and lower device densities may be used
• PCI Designs
  • The complete solution from Xilinx includes PCI compliant FPGAs, predictable LogiCORE PCI designs, easy-to-use tools and now certified 3rd party PCI consulting expertise. Partners will provide expertise in integrating the PCI Core and deliver a fully functional with timing verified design that has been optimized for Xilinx. 
• New design methodologies:
  • HDL synthesis and verification 
  • Team based designs 
• Customer or 3rd Party IP customization and integration 
• System level design
