Xilinx Rolls Out Industry's Most Comprehensive Design Resource For CPLD Applications
SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Xilinx, Inc. (Nasdaq: XLNX) today announced a new reference design program
designed specifically for the company's leading line of CoolRunner® CPLDs.
The free drop-in designs are available for a wide range of applications, from
portable consumer applications, to wireless transceivers and high performance
memory interfaces. The downloadable reference designs (www.xilinx.com/cr2)
provide everything a designer needs to reduce product development time,
including complete HDL source code and detailed application notes. The
designs support the entire line of CoolRunner CPLDs, including the latest
CoolRunner-II family of devices introduced earlier this year. Combining high
performance, ultra low-power, and the highest I/O count per macrocell of any
competing device, CoolRunner-II RealDigital CPLDs are cost optimized to

About CoolRunner-II RealDigital CPLDs
CoolRunner-II RealDigital CPLDs provide the time-to-market advantages of a
programmable device without the typical price premium normally associated with
low power devices. Available in densities ranging from 32 to 512 macrocells,
the CoolRunner-II family achieves performance of over 300 MHz and pin-to-pin
delays as fast as 3.5ns while providing a standby current of less than 100
microamp (<100uA) -- an industry first. The CoolRunner-II Fast Zero Power(TM)
(FZP) design technology creates a new class of CPLD that utilizes a 0.18
micron process and 1.8V core voltage to provide both high performance and
ultra low-power consumption in a single device.
