Virtual Silicon Announces Xilinx Order for 0.10-Micron IP
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 3, 2001--Virtual Silicon Technology Inc., a leader in semiconductor intellectual property (SIP), today announced that Xilinx, Inc. will use Virtual Silicon Technology SIP products in future 0.10-micron CMOS products.
As part of this multi-year agreement, Virtual Silicon will develop and deliver SIP in test vehicles and production parts, updating the SIP to reflect changes in the 0.10-micron design layout rules and SPICE models as the silicon process matures.
"Through close working relationships with foundries, Virtual Silicon has developed innovative SIP architectures for advanced silicon processes and has provided accurate, industry standard EDA views for their SIP products," said Steve Douglass, director of Product Development at Xilinx. "We have used their SIP in our leading FPGA products with previous process generations with great success. With this agreement, we can further leverage their technology to continue producing the industry's most advanced programmable logic solutions."
"FPGA companies are often the process drivers for the foundries because of their need to be first movers to new process technologies, the rigorous qualification procedures they perform and the tremendous volumes of regularly structured silicon that they consume," said Taylor Scanlon, President and CEO of Virtual Silicon. "Xilinx is clearly the leader in developing the highest capacity programmable products that enable system designers to develop tomorrow's innovative products."
