|  Hughes Space and Communications Company Finds Performance of Virtex 
          to be Ummatched  "The critical features of Virtex FPGAs, such as the segmented routing 
        and 0.22 micron feature size, allowed new levels of performance for our 
        high-speed digital designs. The lower voltage and higher performance logic 
        of the Virtex process are unmatched 
        by any other supplier," said Ted Pascaru, senior staff engineer at Hughes 
        Space and Communications  Company, Los Angeles, the leader in satellite 
        communications. "The level of support—from the design development to the 
        hotline assistance—that Xilinx offered with the new family also impressed 
        us." |
