Metal programmable cells join RapidChip platform
LSI Logic has licensed ASAP metal programmable cells from Virage Logic for use in its RapidChip silicon platform.
Following the success of our RapidChip Platform ASIC using Virage Logic's patented ASAP Logic Metal Programmable Cell Libraries, we expanded our partnership with Virage Logic to include its embedded memory products across our 90nm product line.
This engagement accelerates delivery of our 90nm products to service the needs of our leading-edge customers and enables us to provide robust and innovative embedded memory solutions through a combination of internal memory expertise and external partnerships".
"With LSI Logic's proven ability to design and manufacture advanced, complex ASIC solutions and our expertise in designing and delivering silicon-proven embedded memories, we are able to provide customers with a superior SoC design solution on advanced processes such as 90nm", said Adam Kablanian, President and CEO, Virage Logic.
"Our expanded partnership provides customers with a tremendous competitive advantage as they develop highly differentiated products".
Virage Logic's expertise in the embedded memory market enables designers to reduce overall system cost and size, while meeting time-to-market requirements by integrating small, moderate or large amounts of on-chip memory.
Increasingly complex chips require greater amounts of memory, which poses significant yield issues at the time of manufacture.
And, as more memory is added on-chip, obtaining optimal-yielding SoC solutions for high-growth applications can be achieved through the company's STAR Memory System.
In addition, Virage Logic's ASAP Memory product line is ideal for high-volume applications where area-efficient memory implementation is a requirement.
It is also optimised for speed, yet consumes less power than other high-speed memories, making it an excellent choice for high-performance computing and networking applications.
