XPressArray
Targeted at medium-density, high-speed, 1.8V and 1.5V
ASIC applications and high-density FPGA-to-ASIC
conversions, the XPressArray 0.18µ hybrid gate array is
an innovative next-generation technology platform that
reduces time-to-market for system-on-chip (SoC)
applications while delivering significant NRE and unit
cost savings.
XPressArray offers a true drop-in replacement for most
Xilinx and Altera FPGAs, making it the industry’s lowest
cost ASIC conversion solution. The result is a simplified
route to cost reductions for OEMs looking to combine
the flexibility of FPGA prototyping with a path to ASICs
for final production.
Operating with system clock speeds up to 200MHz and
local clocks up to 350MHz and available in a variety of
package
high-performance, low power ASIC solutions with
densities to 2.6M ASIC gates.

Embedded configurable memory ranges from 38Kbits
to 1.4Mbits, while flexible I/O technology includes
support for a comprehensive array of common
standards and compatibility with 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V
and 5.0V I/O schemes. High fault coverage is provided
through integrated scan-test and JTAG support.
For FPGA conversions, rapid access to XPressArray
technology can be achieved via AMI Semiconductor’s
NETRANS
the availability of XPressArray synthesis libraries for
leading commercial synthesizers allows conversion of
FPGA designs to ASICs by simply re-targeting from an
FPGA library to an XPressArray library.
