Xilinx


Xilinx provides programmable-logic products, including embedded processors, FPGA platforms, and development tools that find use in aerospace and defense, wired- and wireless-communications, automotive, audio- and video-broadcast, industrial-control, test-and-measurement, and consumer applications.

The Virtex series of high-performance FPGAs includes the PowerPC 32-bit hard core. The configurable, general-purpose, 32-bit MicroBlaze soft core is available for use with the Spartan series of low-cost FGPAs and Virtex-platform FPGAs. Designers can supplement this core with coprocessing capabilities and a tightly integrated FPU (floating-point unit) and by implementing direct connections to hardware instructions in high-performance FPGA-logic gates.
