In the words of Mike Barone, Vice President of Channel Sales at Xilinx: “We are pleased that Xilinx products are now available through Premier Farnell, helping to expand our online presence and global reach.

Premier Farnell will enable customer expansion through its large-scale market approach and its unique position as the distributor for developers.”.
Fully programmable devices provide designers with a flexible path to system deployment. The "blank canvas" offered by the device can be quickly configured using advanced development libraries and tools to create a product that does exactly what is needed, resulting in a shorter time to market. Integrating multiple functions into a single device reduces the bill of materials, leading to savings in both procurement and manufacturing. These highly flexible devices allow designers to upgrade systems after deployment. All programmable devices are opening new avenues in a wide variety of markets—including military, aerospace and defense, industrial, and commercial sectors—within hardware devices ranging from IoT edge devices to massive data servers, enabling the implementation of a potentially unlimited list of functions.
Chris Breslin, Senior Vice President, Product and Supplier Management for Premier Farnell, states: "All programmable devices provide a powerful addition to the system developer's arsenal of tools, enabling unprecedented levels of design freedom. The product lines within Xilinx's portfolio of fully programmable devices are considered to offer the best price/performance ratio in their class, a position to which Premier Farnell contributes with outstanding customer support that underpins our role as the distributor for developers."
Premier Farnell has established a new Xilinx technical resource center. This center brings together all the technical experts on All Programmable devices in each region, along with a full range of design resources to help developers accelerate the conversion of programmable devices into large-scale market products.
