Xilinx, Inc

Xilinx is the leading innovator of complete programmable logic solutions. Founded in 1984 and headquartered in San Jose, California, Xilinx invented the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and fullfills more than half of the demand for these devices today. Xilinx programmable logic provides a revolutionary alternative to custom logic chips that require weeks or months of design time. As a "fabless" semiconductor company, Xilinx does not own or operate silicon wafer production facilities. Rather, the Company forms strategic alliances with chip manufactures. This strategy allows Xilinx to focus on research and development, marketing, and technical support, while having access to most advanced chip processing technologies currently available.
