While the rest of the industry was moving towards layoffs and shaking-off excessive inventory, Xilinx was busy innovating, collaborating, and introducing new products to market. Unlike many of our counterparts, Xilinx viewed the downturn as an opportunity to focus on research and development, streamline operations, and deliver new products that would change the FPGA landscape.
This last year, Xilinx decisively separated itself from our competition. For the first time in our history, we secured over 50% of the PLD market share and are bigger than all other public PLD companies combined. We avoided layoffs and were ranked by Fortune magazine as the sixth best company to work for.
Through the power of innovation and partnerships, Xilinx also took the FPGA-based value chain to a new level. By teaming with technology leaders in silicon fabrication, design automation, system level tools, IP, and design services, we delivered a complete value chain and strengthened our position as a strategic partner for our customers. Delivering this complete value chain enables the fastest innovation while reducing total development and system costs for our customers. It also reduces time to market and increases time in market for our customer's products.
In March 2002, through partnering with industry leaders IBM, WindRiver Systems, and Conexant, Xilinx delivered the Virtex-II Pro™ programmable system solution. The solution is the first of its kind and is the most flexible tool ever invented for a designer. The Virtex-II Pro FPGA includes programmable logic fabric with high-speed embedded PowerPC processors and integrated 3.125 gigabit RocketIO™ serial transceivers supported by leading design tools. Recent additions to the family and lower price points have now made the Virtex-II Pro solution the de-facto standard for all programmable logic users.
The Virtex-II Pro solution responds to the issues facing design teams and their corporations. By delivering both high-performance processing and high bandwidth connectivity on a single device, many design challenges associated with integration, high-speed interfacing, high performance processing, and new design methodologies are effectively solved. The rapid rate of change in technology and standards demands a solution that is completely flexible and reduces inventory risks and NRE costs - the Virtex-II Pro solution delivers.
