Xilinx is the a leading supplier of high reliability programmable logic devices to the aerospace and defense markets. These devices are used in a wide variety of applications such as electronic warfare, missile guidance and targeting, RADAR, SONAR, communications, signal processing, aerospace, and avionics. The Xilinx QPRO family of ceramic and plastic QML products (Qualified Manufacturers Listing), certified to MIL-PRF-38535, provide you with advanced programmable logic solutions for next generation designs.
The Hi-Rel/Military market has recently experienced significant changes. Even as overall defense spending continues to decrease, it is projected that the electronic content will grow. This is fueled by the need for "smarter" weapons and defense systems, and this growing use of electronics has caused system designers to spend development funds more wisely than ever before. The consideration of development time, time to market in a highly competitive industry, and access to the latest technologies, have become of critical importance. Xilinx is leading the way with solutions to these crucial design issues in this changing environment.
Xilinx developed a Hi-Rel Roadmap to meet the need for product leadership in this critical market, showing you what products you can expect in the future. The development of a high density FPGA roadmap, in conjunction with QML certification, makes Xilinx FPGAs the technology of choice because high density FPGAs have replaced ASICs to become the standard for Hi-Rel logic design, replacing ASICs. Xilinx is focusing on selected products and offering both through-hole and surface mount packaging options. We are already shipping the industry's largest QML certified FPGA, the 62,000 gate XQ4062XL. With the trend toward lower supply voltages, the 3.3 volt XQ4000XL family will become the flagship of the Xilinx Hi-Rel product line, providing you with unparalleled density. Xilinx will continue to provide strong product leadership by offering the 85,000 gate XQ4085XLA before the end of 1998, followed by our third generation Virtex family which will provide up to 1,000,000 system gates of QML certified programmable logic in 1999. Hi-Rel Product/Process Roadmap
Because FPGAs solve many of the problems facing the defense electronics industry, they have already been successfully designed into hundreds of military and aerospace applications. The Xilinx high density FPGA roadmap for Hi-Rel products addresses the challenges facing Hi-Rel/Military system designers.
