Key Dates
Xilinx will begin shipping production devices manufactured at STMicroelectronics with this design
enhancement starting November 9, 2004. After this date, customers ordering the standard part number may
receive product manufactured with or without the design enhancement.
Qualification samples for product manufactured at STMicroelectronics with the design enhancement are now
available. Use the sample ordering code ES when placing orders for these sample units. To use sample ordering
code ES, append "ES" to the end of the standard ordering part number (e.g., XCF04SVO20CES). The sample
ordering code ES will be marked on the package topmark.
Customers who would like to receive only the enhanced product manufactured at STMicroelectronics beyond
the onset of device cross-shipment (November 9, 2004) should use special ordering code SCD0936. To use
SCD0936, append "0936" to the end of the standard ordering part number (e.g., XCF04SVO20C0936). The
ordering code 0936 will not be marked on the package topmark. Only product manufactured at
STMicroelectronics with this design enhancement will be used to fulfill SCD0936 orders.
Customers who need devices without the design enhancement beyond the onset of device cross-shipment
(November 9, 2004) may do so on a short-term basis only by using special ordering code SCD0901. To use
SCD0901, append “0901” to the end of the standard part ordering number (e.g., XCF04SVO20C0901). Only
product manufactured without the design enhancement will be used to fulfill SCD0901 orders. SCD0901 is
currently available for use and will be discontinued after March 1, 2005. The ordering code 0901 will not be
marked on the package topmark.
