About Xilinx Inc.

Xilinx is an American technology company that produces programmable logic devices. The company is credited with the invention of the field-programmable gate array, as well as creation of the first fabless manufacturing model. Xilinx was founded in 1984 by Ross Freeman, Bernard Vonderschmitt, and James V Barnett II, who worked together at Zilog, a manufacturer of integrated circuits and SSDs. Their first product was the field-programmable gate array, which brought immediate success. In only six years, the company’s revenue grew to more than $100 million. In 1990, the company was purchased by AMD and moved to a larger plant to keep up with increased demand. The company continued to expand throughout the 1990s, reaching more than $550 billion in revenue and opening locations in India, Asia, and Europe. The company’s growth has been steady ever since. In 2018, the company’s sales exceeded $2.5 billion.
