2.0 Product Description
Targeted at medium-density, high-speed, 1.8V ASIC applications
and high-density FPGA-to-ASIC conversions, the XPressArray
0.18碌 hybrid gate array is an innovative next-generation
technology platform that reduces time-to-market for system-on-
chip (SoC) applications while delivering significant NRE and unit
cost savings.
XPressArray offers a true drop-in replacement for Xilinx Virtex-E
and Altera APEX-E FPGAs, making it the industry鈥檚 lowest cost
ASIC conversion solution. The result is a simplified route to cost
reductions for OEMs looking to combine the flexibility of FPGA
prototyping with a path to ASICs for final production.
Operating with system clock speeds up to 250MHz and local
clocks up to 350MHz and available in a variety of package
options, XPressArray 0.18碌 devices deliver high-performance,
low power ASIC solutions with densities to 2.6M ASIC gates.
Embedded configurable memory ranges from 23Kbits to
1.4Mbits, while flexible I/O technology includes support for a
comprehensive array of common standards and compatibility
with 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 5.0V I/O schemes. High fault coverage
is provided through integrated scan-test and JTAG support.
For FPGA conversions rapid access to XPressArray technology
can be achieved via AMI Semiconductor鈥檚 NETRANS
廬
FPGA-to-
ASIC design flow. Alternatively, the availability of XPressArray
synthesis libraries for leading commercial synthesizers allows
conversion of FPGA designs to ASICs by simply re-targeting
from an FPGA library to an XPressArray library.
