FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
"We have a whole new way of helping customers who want to implement system applications on our Virtex FPGAs, be it cores, tools, or consulting. It is all in the Xilinx IP Center," said Babak Hedayati, program director of Core Solutions Marketing at Xilinx. "This is a first for a programmable logic vendor. We were first to offer configurable cores over the Internet for the Core Generator system and PCI a couple of years ago, and since then we have rapidly expanded our web-based IP capabilities through the Silicon Xpresso initiative. "As we introduced new cores or updates over the web, the benefits to the customer were immediate," Hedayati said. "For example, we were the first company to actually deliver a real compliant 64/66 MHz PCI solution, and customers were able to immediately download the design and start their implementation as soon as we announced the availability of the product." System Level Applications The system level solutions area of the Xilinx IP Center offers access to comprehensive information on IP and consulting services for applications such as wireless, networking, XDSL technologies, image and video processing and computers. Technology solutions such as Xilinx DSP and Xilinx PCI also are covered in detail. New DSP Reference Designs Reference designs available in the IP Center target DSP applications. They include:
Twelve new third-party consulting companies have joined the Xilinx XPERTS program, bringing the number to more than 40. These experts have experience designing with Xilinx solutions (architecture, software and IP) and can implement system level design and perform IP integration and customization. Some members are focused on the popular Xilinx PCI solution and can integrate the Xilinx PCI cores with customers’ unique back-end logic designs. The services the member companies provide help customers accelerate time to market, keep pace with industry standards, and address the demand for high performance and low power solutions. XPERTS consultants have demonstrated expertise and experience designing a variety of applications, including wireless systems, satellite modems, cable modems, XDSL technologies, and they can address board level design issues such as transmission line, board inductance, and timing requirements. Xilinx is the leading innovator of complete programmable logic solutions, including advanced integrated circuits, software design tools, predefined system functions delivered as cores, and unparalleled field engineering support. Founded in 1984 and headquartered in San Jose, Calif., Xilinx invented the field programmable gate array (FPGA) and commands more than half of the world market for these devices today. Xilinx solutions enable customers to reduce significantly the time required to develop products for the computer, peripheral, telecommunications, networking, industrial control, instrumentation, high-reliability/military, and consumer markets.
