AMI Semiconductor (AMIS) has launched a 0.18-micron hybrid gate array for medium-density high-speed 1.8V ASICs and FPGA-to-ASIC conversions.

AMI Semiconductor (AMIS) has launched a 0.18-micron hybrid gate array for medium-density high-speed 1.8V ASICs and FPGA-to-ASIC conversions AMIS reckons the new array drastically reduces time to market and unit cost while providing customers with NRE (nonrecurring engineering) cost savings of up to 70%

The new XPressArray platform also represents the industry's first drop-in replacement solution for converting 1.8V Xilinx Virtex-E and Altera APEX-E FPGAs to higher performance, lower power and more cost effective ASICs.

Operating with system clock speeds up to 250MHz, and local clock speeds up to 350MHz, XPressArray devices are available in a variety of package options.

The devices are fabricated using a hybrid process that integrates a leading 0.18um front-end process from TSMC with a proven AMIS metal finishing technology.
