Sales from all end markets were weaker than expected with the exception of the "industrial and other" end market, which increased 3% sequentially as strong sales from defense and test and measurement applications were offset by a decline in sales from industrial, scientific and medical applications.

Sales from the communications end market decreased 7% sequentially, driven by softness in telecommunications.

"Sales from mainstream and base products declined during the quarter", said Wim Roelandts, Xilinx Chief Executive Officer.

"However, Xilinx experienced solid growth from new products, which increased 12% sequentially and represented 26% of total sales, up from 13% of sales in the same quarter a year ago".

"Sales from the Spartan-3E and Virtex-4 FX families were particularly strong during the quarter driven by a broad base of customers and applications".
