SAN JOSE, Calif., May 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) today announced the Kintex™-7 FPGA
Embedded Kit, providing a ready-to-use development platform for system designers to quickly and easily implement
programmable system integration for applications where the processor needs to control different data streams, such as in video
and Ethernet switching, motor control, and medical imaging. As a Xilinx® 7 series FPGA, Kintex-7 devices offer the flexibility to
support changing standards, parallel processing and customizable interfaces with integrated functions like high performance
DSP, memory, analog and I/O interfaces, making it easier for designers to embed soft processors to control dataflow and
manage a number of interfaces in the system.

"Designers can reduce development time by using the Kintex-7 FPGA embedded targeted reference design that comes with
the kit as a stepping stone for building their customized embedded systems," said Raj Seelam, Xilinx Senior Marketing
Manager of Targeted Design Platforms. "The scalable, optimized architecture of Kintex-7 FPGAs allows customers to migrate
their designs across Xilinx's 28nm 7 series devices, maximizing design reuse and reducing time to market."
"Kintex-7 FPGAs are a great programmable platform for high performance embedded design," said Davor Kovacec, Xylon
CEO. "The new Embedded Kit uses our logiSDHC SD Card controller and logiCVC-ML display controller with associated SW
drivers, demonstrating how system designers can rapidly design HD video processing systems at 1080p60 video resolutions or
higher."
