30岁生日快乐！赛灵思！
（附免费“赛灵思创始故事”，感谢SemiWiki全新 无晶圆史话一书）
Today is the 30th anniversary of the founding of Xilinx. The company was started three decades ago by Ross Freeman and Bernie Vonderschmitt. Freeman’s vision was the FPGA. Vonderschmitt’s vision was for the first fabless semiconductor company. Both visions have produced a company that now has more than 3500 patents and 60 industry firsts under its belt. Not bad for the first thirty years.
2月12日是Xilinx公司成立30周年的日子。该公司30年前由Ross Freeman和Bernie Vonderschmitt共同创办。当年Freeman的愿景是把FPGA发扬光大。 而Vonderschmitt的愿景则是做第一个无晶圆半导体公司。这两个愿景催生了这家公司，现在它已经有超过3,500项专利，和60多项行业第一，总的说来，公司发展的头30年很不错。
