eASIC Corp has been named in the 'Top 100 Most Innovative Companies' by Red Herring, a media company whose mission is to cover innovation, technology, financing and entrepreneurial activity. The top 100 innovators were selected after a long and rigorous process of evaluating more than 1200 entries. The Red Herring editorial team has chosen the finalists, and the winners will be announced at Red Herring's Fall Conference in Monterey, California.

The results will also be published in Red Herring's 13th December issue.

This award recognises eASIC's breakthrough technology in the area of chip customisation for which the company holds 11 broad patents.

In today's nanotechnology environment, the cost of designing and producing ASICs is reaching $20 million, making standard ASICs uneconomical for most product applications.

Therefore, a critical need for affordable ASICs has emerged, one that optimises the cost/performance of designing new products.

eASIC's Configurable Logic technology and its fast-turn Structured eASIC products answer these industry requirements with a unique logic fabric, which offers both design flexibility and cost-effective production.

'eASIC has developed a breakthrough semiconductor technology that will have a significant impact on chip developers and product manufacturers', said Matt Murphy, Principal Partner, Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers.

'eASIC provides the low upfront cost and fast turnaround time advantages of FPGAs, with density, gate-delay and power consumption similar to those of ASICs'.

'There is a huge opportunity for this technology, given the skyrocketing upfront cost and risk in today's deep submicron era'.

'We're proud to be included in the Red Herring Top 100 list', said Zvi Or-Bach, eASIC Founder, President and CEO.

'For this achievement, we are grateful for the support of our partners, including the semiconductor division of the number-one contract manufacturer, for the backing from our top tier investor - KPCB, and for the complimenting recognition of a large engineering community who ranked eASIC as number-one ultimate product in both technology significance and usability in logic and programmable logic category, in a study conducted by EE Times'.

'Moreover, with the dedication of our team, the company is geared up to offer its NRE-free Configurable Logic products to a market eager for such a solution'.

'The time has come to usher in a new era of ASIC design and manufacturing'.

'eASIC has the powerful disruptive technology to make it happen'.
