Nyt koncept for enkel konvertering af 'end-of-life' ASICs og FPGA'er
Det israelske firma KaiSemi tilbyder nu at konvertere 'end-of-life' ASICs eller FPGA' til funktionelt identiske chips (in english).
Fabless semiconductor vendor KaiSemi Ltd. is boosting its efforts to provide drop-in replacement chips for ASICs and FPGAs whose manufacturing is due to be terminated (End-of-Life).
KaiSemi’s End-of-Life solution is available immediately worldwide. It is based on KaiSemi’s proprietary conversion technology, which is able to automatically convert any FPGA or ASIC chip into a functionally identical ASIC device.
KaiSemi receives the customer’s netlist and converts it quickly and automatically into a functionally identical ASIC netlist. KaiSemi eventually proceeds to tape out, manages the entire manufacturing and shipping processes and provides the customer with a functionally identical, drop-in ASIC replacement chip, within up to 20 weeks.
KaiSemi's technical breakthrough is an automated conversion tool and process which were developed by a team whose track record includes more than 500 successful conversions.
The unique in-house tool performs an automated conversion directly from the original netlist into a functionally-identical ASIC gate-level netlist, using a large preinstalled embedded database of various fab processes and libraries. The technology enabled KaiSemi to approach companies in America, Europe and Asia with a risk-free full turnkey ASIC solution, which requires no engineering resources on behalf of the customer ('Zero NRE').
- As process geometries become smaller, and the lifecycles of products and technologies become shorter, more hardware companies face end-of-life problems, says Tomer Kabakov, VP Sales and Marketing at KaiSemi.
- This is where we can provide KaiSemi’s support. We are able to supply a pin-to-pin, functionally identical ASIC chip, based on the netlist of the obsolete component. The KaiSemi flow is automatic and transparent to the customer.
KaiSemi conversions portfolio includes FPGA-to-ASIC, multichip-to-ASIC, ASIC-to-ASIC, and DSP algorithm-to-ASIC. The companys business model is based on selling drop-in replacement chips at a reduced cost with no NRE, based on quantities. Each FPGA-to-ASIC conversion project, including its one-time ASIC expenses, is set to remain significantly cheaper than the original FPGA chip order.
