Staying ahead of the competition is getting tougher everyday. Cost pressures, changing standards, and device obsolescence are just a few of the challenges. To stay ahead, you need a low cost, competitive processing solution that's customizable throughout the entire design cycle and can quickly be brought into high volume production.

The Xilinx Field Programmable Controller solution (FPC) allows you to create low-cost, customized processors with peripherals, memory, and logic - all on a single cost-optimized programmable logic device that can easily adapt to changing requirements (even after your product is in the field). We provide everything you need including development tools and a wide range of IP, so you get to market sooner with a better product that will stay in the market longer. There is no faster, easier, or cheaper way to develop microcontroller-based products.

Designers can now embed Xilinx's 32-bit MicroBlaze soft processor in a Spartan-3 FPGA for an effective price of $0.73. Designers can also implement Xilinx's free 8-bit PicoBlaze soft processor for an effective price of $0.13. These new price points represent significant cost savings over most discrete 32-bit/8-bit processors solutions available today.
