About Xilinx Inc.
Ross Freeman, Bernard Vonderschmitt, and James V Barnett II founded Xilinx in 1984, and began selling its first product in 1985. By 1989, Xilinx went public on the NASDAQ. It was during this same year that the company decided to relocate its headquarters to San Jose, California. Xilinx was the first to create the field-programmable gate array,
programmable systems on chips, and the adaptive computing acceleration platform.
