Toshiba said it will start manufacture high-performance field programmable gate array (FPGA) products for Xilinx with volume production starts in Q1, 2005.

The FPGA will be manufactured using 90nm first silicon at Toshiba¡¦s 300mm wafer manufacturing plant at Oita, in Kyushu, Japan, both companies said.

Under terms of the manufacturing agreement, Xilinx is to make advance payments to Toshiba to be offset against future wafer purchases. Xilinx believes this partnership assures another stable source of FPGA products manufactured with advanced process technology, allowing it also to rely on Toshiba¡¦s expertise in integrating high-level design and process technology, Xilinx said.
