eASIC 45nm Value Shuttle Program for Prototyping Designs
Last week, eASIC launched their new Value Shuttle program, which is suppose to lower the entry cost for 45nm ASIC designs. With the Value Shuttle program, designers will receive forty-five (45) eASIC Nextreme-2 NEW ASIC prototypes for only forty-five thousand dollars ($45K), which is smaller than the cost of competing ASIC solutions. The 45nm eASIC [...]
Altera FPGA Devices Feature TSMC 28HP and 28LP Processes
Altera will use two distinct 28nm process technologies. With their high-end FPGA family, Altera will continue to use TSMC’s 28-nm High Performance (28HP) process technology. However, now the company will use also TSMC’s 28nm Low-Power (28LP) process technology for Altera’s low-cost and midrange product families. Engineering samples of Altera’s 28-nm Stratix V FPGAs will be [...]
Altera MAX V CPLD Device Family
Altera launched their new MAX V CPLD device family. The MAX V CPLD devices use half the total power compared to competitive CPLDs. The MAX V CPLD device family includes seven members ranging in density from 40 to 2,210 LEs. The first two MAX V devices, the 5M80ZE64C5N and 5M240ZT100C5N devices, are available now, priced [...]
