Xilinx, the world's leading supplier of programmable logic solutions, announced the opening of its own development center in India, located in a 33,000 sq ft facility in CyberPearl, Hyderabad. Xilinx's facility will initially have about 75 staff and has the capacity to hold up to 300 employees to support the company's growth plans in India over the next several years. Xilinx will manage and operate the center, which is responsible for the full product development lifecycle of Intellectual Property (IP) cores in the high-growth areas of automotive electronics, embedded processing and high-speed serial I/O connectivity. IP cores are pre-engineered, functional modules that Xilinx customers use to reduce the development time of their programmable system designs. In addition, the facility will provide design verification for IP cores and technical support for Xilinx's customers.

“Our worldwide strategy is to invest in high-growth markets to support our customers and increasing our local presence is a strong signal of our longterm commitment to the important Indian technology sector,” said Kris Chellam, Senior VP-Global Enterprise Services, Xilinx, Inc “This new site in Hyderabad is one of our largest development facilities outside of the United States and it enables us to tap into the excellent pool of local engineering talent, thereby strengthening our global R&D ecosystem and bringing us closer to the local electronics design market.”
