FPGA Migration

Even though FPGAs can be ideal for prototyping, they are seldom the most optimum solution in volume production. Customers migrate to a Structured ASIC for one of the following reasons:

ChipX has been migrating FPGAs to Structured ASICs for a decade. ChipX can offer a pin-for-pin replacement to an existing FPGA, aggregate two or more FPGAs into one Structured ASIC or extend the life of a system that uses an obsolete, 5V legacy FPGA. No matter what your primary objective is, a ChipX Structured ASIC will offer you all the benefits listed above and more. Our field application engineers will help you map your FPGA to an appropriate ChipX Structured ASIC.

In every FPGA migration project, ChipX is cognizant of customers' concerns about risk and their engineers' time. For this reason, we take every step possible to minimize these factors.

In order to minimize risk, we work methodically using industry proven flows. We use reputable industry standard tools and we verify the results after every step of the migration process. In the final stage, we confirm the performance and functionality against expectations.

In order to minimize the customers' time, we do all we can to leverage the deliverables available and involve their engineers only when absolutely necessary. At the beginning of the project, we discuss the flow with the customers and explain exactly where their involvement will be required so that they can scope the project and plan accordingly.
