Mini gate arrays offer cost-effective
ASICs
A new series of mini gate arrays will allow developers of custom devices a choice of smaller gate counts in lower pin count packages.
Dedicated NEC Electronics Europe distributor, Sunrise Electronics has just announced a new series of mini gate arrays, allowing developers of custom devices a choice of smaller gate counts in lower pin count packages Unlike some companies discontinuing parts of their gate array families, NEC Electronics is now expanding the range of devices available in its CMOS-N5 0.5um gate-array technology with the introduction of new small masters

Sunrise set to ship fastest gate arrays yet
Dedicated NEC distributor Sunrise Electronics is now helping customers to design with the latest 0.25-micron CMOS-10HD family of CMOS gate array products.
These new mini gate arrays contain a smaller number of gates (with different masters from 1000 to 5000 gates) in smaller packages than previously available.
The use of 20- or 30-pin SSOP rather than 44-pin QFP outlines saves cost, allowing devices to be offered at an extremely attractive unit price and low NRE (starting at Eur 10,000).
Specifications for the mini gate arrays are the same as for other devices in NEC Electronics' 0.5um process technologies.
Temperature ratings are -40 to +85C and power supply requirements are 3.3/5V.
These new masters are especially suited for applications where algorithms have to be implemented in hardware (for example in security-critical or fast applications) or as addon circuits for standard microcontrollers (providing functions such as interface expansion, additional UARTs or timers).
