45nm ASIC has Zero Mask-charges

( 1 Sep 2008 )

eASIC Corp.'s next generation Nextreme-2 Family of ASICs is said to be the semiconductor industry's first 45nm, zero mask-charge ASIC family. Nextreme-2 delivers on eASIC's promise of affordable silicon customization, enabling the design of custom chips using state-of-the-art 45nm technology and the delivery of working devices in only six-weeks. Nextreme- 2 features up to 80 percent lower power than FPGAs, has up to 20M gates and 30Mb of true dual-port memory. The device also has 2.4TeraMACs of DSP performance, and up to 56 6.5Gbps transceivers and 1.25Gbps LVDS.

The Nextreme-2 Family is manufactured on Chartered Semiconductor's 45nm low-power process and armed with an efficient LUT-based architecture. The logic fabric provides up to 700MHz performance enabling signal processing engineers with an impressive DSP capability without the need for embedded multipliers.
