Xilinx, Inc. (/ˈzaɪlɪŋks/ZY-links) was an American technology and semiconductor company that primarily supplied programmable logic devices. The company is known for inventing the first commercially viable field-programmable gate array (FPGA). It also created the first fabless manufacturing model.[4][5][6]
Xilinx was co-founded by Ross Freeman, Bernard Vonderschmitt, and James V Barnett II in 1984. The company went public on the NASDAQ in 1990.[7][8] AMD announced its acquisition of Xilinx in October 2020, and the deal was completed on February 14, 2022, through an all-stock transaction worth an estimated $60 billion.[9][10] Xilinx remained a wholly owned subsidiary of AMD until the brand was phased out in June 2023, with Xilinx's product lines now branded under AMD.[11]
