XC4000 Series high-performance, high-capacity Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) provide the benefits of custom CMOS VLSI, while avoiding the initial cost, long development cycle, and inherent risk of a conventional masked gate array. The result of thirteen years of FPGA design experience and feedback from thousands of customers, these FPGAs combine architectural versatility, on-chip Select-RAM memory with edge-triggered and dual-port modes, increased speed, abundant routing resources, and new, sophisticated software to achieve fully automated implementation of complex, high-density, high-performance designs.
Description:
XC4000 Series devices are implemented with a regular, flexible, programmable architecture of Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs), interconnected by a powerful hierarchy of versatile routing resources, and surrounded by a perimeter of programmable Input/Output Blocks (IOBs). They have generous routing resources to accommodate the most complex interconnect patterns. The devices are customized by loading configuration data into internal memory cells. The FPGA can either actively read its configuration data from an external serial or byte-parallel PROM (master modes), or the configuration data can be written into the FPGA from an external device (slave and peripheral modes). XC4000 Series FPGAs are supported by powerful and sophisticated software, covering every aspect of design from schematic or behavioral entry, floor planning, simulation, automatic block placement and routing of interconnects, to the creation, downloading, and readback of the configuration bit stream. Because Xilinx FPGAs can be reprogrammed an unlimited number of times, they can be used in innovative designs where hardware is changed dynamically, or where hardware must be adapted to different user applications. FPGAs are ideal for shortening design and development cycles, and also offer a cost-effective solution for production rates well beyond 5,000 systems per month. For lowest high-volume unit cost, a design can first be implemented in the XC4000E or XC4000X, then migrated to one of Xilinx’ compatible HardWire mask-programmed devices.

Xilinx is a leading provider of programmable logic devices and associated technologies. As a top producer of programmable FPGAs, SoCs, MPSoCs, and 3D ICs, Xilinx has expanded quickly. Software defined and hardware optimized applications are supported by Xilinx, advancing the fields of cloud computing, SDN/NFV, video/vision, industrial IoT, and 5G wireless.
One of Xilinx's key innovations is the development of the Xilinx Vivado Design Suite, a comprehensive software toolchain used for designing and programming their FPGAs and SoCs. This suite provides developers with the necessary tools to create, simulate, and implement their designs on Xilinx devices.
In October 2020, Xilinx was acquired by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), a major player in the semiconductor industry. This acquisition has enabled AMD to enhance its product portfolio and expand its offerings into the rapidly growing FPGA market.
