Xilinx has experienced "supply constraints" on some of its Virtex-5 FPGAs and as a result it expects the fall in sales in the June quarter to be slightly worse than originally predicted.
The FPGA supplier said June sales are expected to be down approximately 5% on the previous month. It had originally issued a guidance range of down 4% to up 4% sequentially.
"The shortfall in sales is primarily due to supply constraints on certain Virtex-5 devices that are in high demand," said the company.
It said that it expects most of these issues to be resolved in the next quarter.
Xilinx made no change to its gross margin guidance of 61% to 63% and operating expense guidance of flat to slightly down sequentially.
