Where Innovation Meets Imagination
AMD has completed the acquisition of Xilinx, creating a “high-performance and adaptive computing leader”.
The acquisition is officially the largest in semiconductor history and brings together two industry leaders with complementary product portfolios, customers and market expertise.
The Xilinx business will become the Adaptive and Embedded Computing Group (AECG), led by former Xilinx CEO Victor Peng. [Read more…] about AMD completes acquisition of Xilinx
Semiconductor giant AMD says it has received approval from “all necessary authorities” to proceed with the acquisition of Xilinx, a chip maker which specialises in the industrial sector.
With the exception of the remaining customary closing conditions, all conditions to the transaction closing have been satisfied and the company expects the transaction to close on or about February 14, 2022.
AMD announced its intention to acquire Xilinx in an all-stock transaction on October 27, 2020. [Read more…] about AMD given approval to acquire Xilinx
Chipmaker Xilinx claims it has achieved “lift-off” with the launch of what it says is the industry’s first 20 nanometer space-grade FPGA for satellite and space applications.
Xilinx, which invented field-programmable gate array chips, says the new FPGA provides full radiation tolerance and ultra-high throughput and bandwidth performance for satellite and space applications.
The new 20nm Radiation Tolerant Kintex UltraScale XQRKU060 FPGA provides true unlimited on-orbit reconfiguration, over a 10x increase in digital signal processing (DSP) performance – ideal for payload applications – and full radiation tolerance across all orbits, says Xilinx.

Chipmaker Xilinx and Avnet, a designer and distributor of electronics components, have combined to offer a range of solutions for autonomous car development.
Xilinx is a big name in the industrial sector and has found many new customers in markets which are relatively new to the company – as well as to everyone else.
Specifically, the emerging and fast-growing area of autonomous car development, which Xilinx groups under the category of “Advanced Product” in its financial reports. [Read more…] about Xilinx and Avnet combine to provide solutions for autonomous car developers
Xilinx has launched what it claims is the “world’s largest” FPGA chip featuring 9 million system logic cells.
Xilinx says the new chip represents the expansion of its 16 nanometer (nm) Virtex UltraScale+ range.
The new FPGA – the Virtex UltraScale+ VU19P – has 35 billion transistors, and provides “the highest logic density and I/O count on a single device ever built”, according to Xilinx. [Read more…] about Xilinx unveils ‘world’s largest’ FPGA chip with 9 million system logic cells
Chipmaker Xilinx and auto giant Daimler are collaborating to develop an in-car system using Xilinx technology for artificial intelligence processing in automotive applications.
Powered by a Xilinx automotive platform consisting of system-on-a-chip devices and AI acceleration software, the scalable solution will deliver high performance, low latency and best power efficiency for embedded AI in automotive applications today.
Xilinx says it has a strong pedigree in automotive. For more than 12 years the company has shipped over 40 million cumulative automotive units to automakers and Tier 1 suppliers. [Read more…] about Daimler selects Xilinx chips to drive AI-based automotive applications
Xilinx has launched the automotive qualified Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC family, enabling development of safety-critical advanced driver assistance and autonomous driving systems.
The Xilinx Automotive XA Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC family is qualified according to AEC-Q100 test specifications with full ISO 26262 ASIL-C level certification.
The product integrates a feature-rich 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 and dual-core ARM Cortex-R5 based processing system (PS) and Xilinx programmable logic (PL) UltraScale architecture in a single device. [Read more…] about Xilinx launches new processor for autonomous driving systems
