Highlights — September Quarter Fiscal 2014

• The Vivado® Design Suite software, first introduced in April, 2012, continues to receive strong customer adoption. Over 70% of our 28-nm designs are now using Vivado. Built from the ground up to address productivity bottlenecks in system-level integration and implementation, the Vivado Design Suite continues to lead the PLD industry in overall productivity, ease-of-use and system level integration capabilities; and remains the industry's only software to support both programmable SOC and 3D designs.
• Sales from Industrial and A&D increased 6% sequentially in the September quarter, representing a record 38% of total sales. Xilinx is benefitting from strong customer adoption of the 28-nm platform as well as the industry-wide shift to smarter vision applications such as intelligent imaging, surveillance and machine vision, which are pervasive throughout Industrial, Automotive, AVB and A&D.
• Xilinx's Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC family continues to gain broad-based customer adoption. Initially targeting longer time-to-revenue markets such as Automotive and Industrial, the Zynq-7000 family is now participating in approximately 40% of wireless designs and is rapidly gaining traction in data center applications. Xilinx remains the only PLD Company generating material sales from a programmable SoC product.
