[jon]

Need help on a Virtex XCV1000E-6FG860C . I am short 500 pieces and
the only parts I see are coming from China brokers. Please call with
any quantity that you can supply. I need them ASAP.

jon,

Unauthorized distributors are likely to have slower parts re-marked as
faster parts so they can gouge you for more money....

-6 is the slowest, so maybe you won't have that problem.

Or, devices that look like our parts, but are empty inside, or just
remarked garbage (non-functional).

This is the most common results we have seen when we have looked into
these "sources."

I am also concerned that we made a gift of Virtex E to Universities a
long time ago.

These devices were "not suitable for commercial use" ...

Caveat Emptor!

Ahhh. So you've been to Latin America, Austin?

Austin,

Thanks for the heads up. I am aware of what some of these companies
are doing and have taken it to the extreme as to purchase an x-ray
machine. The parts that you donated to a University, were they
engineering samples? Do you know if the engineering samples meet full
spec?

I am very aware, but want to at least look at possible options. Do you
know of a legitimate OEM/CM that has over bought on these? You would
be helping us both out and keeping legitimate product in the
marketplace.

Regards,
Jon E. Hansen

Jon,

I believe the parts that were donated had normal production markings.

And, no, I know of no legitimate holder of material (Xilinx does not
recognize resellers, as we have lost the chain of control), other than
our authorized distributors.

Jon, before we discuss illegitimate resellers:
You can still order these parts from Xilinx, if you place an order
through your favorite distributor.
You must order before June 1 (i.e. very soon) but you can schedule
delivery over the next 12 months.
The reason for the "last time buy" is the complexity of the package.
It is cavity-down, which makes it hard to manufacture, and it also
mirrors the pin-out compared to conventional packages, causing lack of
compatibility.
All you have to do is place the order (pronto!) and schedule delivery
through a year.
No need to investigate shady deals...
