FPGA Conversion

Retargeting an FPGA netlist to an ASIC technology makes business sense for applications with production requirements above a certain annual volume. The advantages of converting to an ASIC are

• Reduced piece-part cost
• Reduced power
• Reduced form-factor for hand-held applications
• Immunity to discontinuation of the FPGA
• Protection of intellectual property

US ASIC has been converting FPGA netlists into ASIC technologies long before the practice was considered a business model. FPGA’s which are re-targeted are subsequently manufactured at TSMC, our manufacturing partner and world-leading pure-play semiconductor foundry.

Any FPGA may be re-targeted or converted, even those with embedded memory and/or analog blocks. Contact your local US ASIC representative to find out how we can help.
