eASIC claims that its Value Shuttle program lowers entry cost for 45nm designs. With reduced costs and development risk of design prototypes, the program helps designers bring forward the transition point from FPGA to ASIC.
The company has streamlined the design flow to make transitions from FPGAs to ASIC a simple process, according to the company. The program enables designers plan cost reductions and help reverse trends in declining ASIC design starts, enabling use of ASICs rather than FPGAs even for moderate volume applications.
The program is available for all eASIC Nextreme-2 ASIC designs. The program is used in end applications such as carrier class wireless, and wired infrastructure, medical equipment or where FPGAs are too expensive or replacing legacy cell-based ASICs require additional functionality.
