A hearty welcome to all of you from Proactive Components, Inc.  We are your best source for quality components from leading global manufacturers. We are also your best resource for ‘extra’ information on electronic parts and components and their manufacturers.

In this edition of our exclusive blog, we introduce to you the world leader in FPGA manufacturing – Xilinx. Our extensive inventory of 15 million plus components carries a comprehensive selection of Xilinx FPGAs and we are confident of meeting all your Xilinx FPGA supply requirements.

Established in 1984, Xilinx was one of the first semiconductor companies to adopt a fabless manufacturing model. Xilinx is the pioneer in FPGA development, and is the company that invented FPGAs. FPGAs come under the category of Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs).as they are integrated circuits that can be programmed to desired functionality or application post manufacture.

FPGA Configuration

The basic units of FPGAs are the configurable logic blocks (CLBs). In FPGAs, a logic block matrix is connected via programmable interconnects and can be configured to perform specific functions – complex logic combinations or simple AND/NOR logic gates. The logic blocks have memory components too. 

Advanced FPGAs from Xilinx contain vast logic gate resources and RAM blocks, making them suitable for complex digital computations. Xilinx has several families of FPGA components with different features for varied applications. High end FPGAs come with a host of additional features such as DSP blocks, clocking devices, and transceiver components. As FPGAs are cost effectively produced, they bring down overall system costs significantly.

Look no further than Proactive Components, Inc. for your Xilinx FPGAs.
