Tabula får kæmpemæssigt økonomisk boost

Tabula - der står bag den banebrydende 3PLD arkitektur - har fået tilført 108 mio. dollars, hvilket det største funding af et privat chipselskab i de seneste 10 år (in english).

Tabula, Inc., a privately held fabless semiconductor company and developer of the ABAX family of 3D Programmable Logic Devices (3PLDs), has secured $108 million in Series D funding.

Tabula will use the new capital to accelerate production of their 3PLD ABAX product family, expand customer and partner support infrastructures, and further next-generation product development to extend their market leadership in the rapidly growing programmable logic sector. The financing was led by Crosslink Capital and DAG Ventures. Existing investors, Balderton Capital, Benchmark Capital, Greylock Partners, Integral Capital, and NEA also participated in this round.


- The programmable logic market is seeing tremendous growth driven by the build out of the telecommunications infrastructure. This infrastructure build is necessary to keep pace with the global demand for more bandwidth to support smartphone usage for accessing data and video online, says Dennis Segers, CEO of Tabula.

- This funding represents a resounding validation of our breakthrough Spacetime 3D programmable logic technology and a vote of confidence for the Tabula team in its ability to bring about both technological innovation as well as business innovation to customers. We will continue to build on our customer momentum by increasing volume shipments of our ABAX 3PLD product family. With the disruption our Spacetime architecture is bringing to the market, we will take programmable devices where they have never gone before and intend on becoming a global semiconductor market leader. - Our chips and software are in customers’ hands, and our Spacetime technology is delivering on its promise in the marketplace. This enormous infusion of capital provides the remaining ingredient for us to transform the electronics industry, notes Steve Teig, Founder and CTO of Tabula

- Tabula’s Spacetime technology addresses the problems at the heart of the programmable logic market today by delivering unprecedented capabilities at unmatched cost points compared to FPGAs, says Gary Hromadko, Venture Partner of Crosslink Capital.

- Tabula represents the largest market opportunity of any private semiconductor company in the industry today. This new infusion of capital will allow Tabula to aggressively execute on their customer adoption and product development plans.

Committed to bringing business and technology innovation to the semiconductor industry, Tabula recently completed the roll-out of its 40nm ABAX family of 3PLDs supported by the Stylus development software.

Stylus delivers Spacetime’s 3D Architecture breakthrough price/performance advantages to ASIC and FPGA designers, all while maintaining a familiar design flow. The first design software suite in the PLD industry made available in the cloud, Stylus eliminates IT hassle while enabling real-time, on-site-like, technical support.

- Tabula is well positioned to capitalize on the growing migration of ASIC and ASSP towards programmable logic devices, says Dave Strohm, Partner of Greylock Partners.

- With a proven world class management team, products that are leading in a high-growth PLD market and shipping to a growing list of Tier 1 customers, this round of funding will help drive their customer expansion and increase their technological lead. We look forward to their continued success.
