</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify any of
its directors or officers who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation against
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such
person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe that such person&#146;s conduct was unlawful. In a derivative
action, i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation, the corporation is permitted to indemnify
any of its directors or officers against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made
if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent
that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication
of liability.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">The Registrant&#146;s currently effective Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the
Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware
law. The Registrant currently carries indemnity insurance pursuant to which its directors and
officers are insured under certain circumstances against certain liabilities or losses, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">The Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with certain directors and executive
officers. These agreements, among other things, indemnify the directors and executive officers for
certain expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines, and settlement payments incurred by
such persons in any action, including any action by or in the right of the Registrant, in
connection with the good faith performance of their duties as a director or officer. The
indemnification agreements also provide for the advance payment by the Registrant of defense
expenses incurred by the director or officer; however, the affected director or officer must
undertake to repay such amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that such director or
officer is not entitled to be indemnified.

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") by Xilinx, Inc. (the "Registrant") pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act") are hereby incorporated by reference:
(a)
Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K filed pursuant to section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Exchange Act, containing audited financial statements for the Registrant's
fiscal year ended April 3, 2010, as filed with the Commission on June 1, 2010.
(b)
All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Registrant's document referred to in
(a) above.
(c)
The description of the Registrant's common stock set forth in its Registration
Statement on Form 8-A (File No. 0-18548) filed with the Commission on April 27, 1990,
including any amendment or report subsequently filed by the Registrant for the purpose
of updating the description.
All other documents filed by the Registrant with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a),
13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, subsequent to the filing of this Registration Statement and
prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates
that all securities offered have been sold or which de-registers all securities then remaining
unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a
part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
The class of securities to be offered is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify any of
its directors or officers who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such
person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe that such person's conduct was unlawful. In a derivative
action, i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation, the corporation is permitted to indemnify
any of its directors or officers against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made
if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent
that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication
of liability.
The Registrant's currently effective Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the
Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware
law. The Registrant currently carries indemnity insurance pursuant to which its directors and
officers are insured under certain circumstances against certain liabilities or losses, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with certain directors and executive
officers. These agreements, among other things, indemnify the directors and executive officers for
certain expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and settlement payments incurred by
such persons in any action, including any action by or in the right of the Registrant, in
connection with the good faith performance of their duties as a director or officer. The
indemnification agreements also provide for the advance payment by the Registrant of defense
expenses incurred by the director or officer; however, the affected director or officer must
undertake to repay such amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that such director or
officer is not entitled to be indemnified.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price
set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material
change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained
in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or
section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement
relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section
13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it
