Xilinx plans independent R&D

Xilinx Inc., which has an engineering team at CMC Ltd. at Hyderabad, plans to shift the staff to an independent Indian R&D subsidiary in 2006. Xilinx (San Jose, Calif.) said it is also evaluating Indian design houses with an eye toward equity investments from its $100 million ecosystem fund. The programmable logic developer said investments could include companies not working directly in software, IP tool development or boards but focused on programmable logic development.

The exact timing for launching the research subsidiary has not been decided, but it will be located in Hyderabad
