FPGA to ASIC service / FPGA to FPGA service

  • Is your prototype FPGA design ready and you want to move to mass production?

  • Are you seeking assistance in migrating from FPGA design to a production ready ASIC?

  • Did you encounter an EOL (End of Life) product (either ASIC or FPGA) which your design is based on?

  • Do you need to replacement and it hard to find?

Developing an ASIC is a complex process which requires many skills and experience. Selecting a partner for an ASIC manufacturing is a critical decision in a company course of life, since some mistakes may cost many thousands of dollars to remanufacture.

​

Why migrating from FPGA to an ASIC?

Reducing BOM cost (see a simple example below), reducing power consumption, reducing physical solution size, increasing performance, controlling your product future, implementing relevant components in the product, implementing more than one component into a single ASIC solution.

Other reasons for ASIC implementations may be ASIC end of life (ASIC to ASIC) while keeping the same pin location, implementing several ASICs to a single ASIC, migrating old technology ASIC to a new technology ASIC and many more.

​

A simple BOM cost reduction calculation:

  • FPGA cost-  ~$50

  • Amount of systems with FPGA – 100,000 units

  • Total FPGA cost: $50 * 100,000 = $5,000,000
    ______________________________________________

  • Mass production ASIC Cost - ~3$

  • Amount of systems with ASIC – 100,000 units

  • Total ASIC cost: $3 * 100,000 = $300,000

  • NRE cost (design, verification and production cost): even with a cost of $3,000,000, the total cost is much less than using FPGA
