Lightspeed Semiconductor has founded an alliance of IP vendors to provide customers with direct access to world class IP for use in its Modular Array ASIC technology. Charter members of MAIN (the Modular Array IP vendor Network) include: Amphion, CAST, Denali Software, Modelware and Silicon Logic Engineering. Luminance's 700MHz system performance makes synthesisable IP cores viable in a generic fabric, and eliminates the need to embed hard (diffused) functional blocks to achieve necessary system performance.

To ensure that performance is preserved through design processing, IP for Luminance devices can be delivered as a post-synthesis netlist and the associated SDF.

The back-end place and route flow will employ fixed relative placement and routing to preserve timing.

This hardens the IP to prevent inadvertent changes during design processing (functional or performance) and also offers a secure distribution method.

This allows IP partners to offer the best possible licensing terms for their products.

The vendors in the MAIN alliance are conversant with the Lightspeed technology and the delivery of firm IP, making Modular Array ASICs from Lightspeed a natural match for their products.
