ASIC technology aims for budget FPGA replacement
AMI Semiconductor has outlined the next phase in the roadmap for its high-performance, low-power hybrid gate array solutions with the launch of a 1.5V version of its popular XPressArray technology.
Process boosts structured ASIC density
With more than two million fully programmable gates plus memory, the higher-density XPressArray (XPA-HD) offers 40% more density than AMI Semiconductor's existing XpressArray offering.
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.
