I am very excited to join eASIC’s Board of Directors. eASIC has a proven, disruptive technology that adds significant value to their customers by displacing power hungry and costly FPGAs or lowering the development cost of traditional ASICs. At a point when many companies in high growth markets are implementing cost reduction strategies to improve gross margins and competitiveness, eASIC is ideally positioned to have a dramatic impact in the custom logic arena.
Seagate is delighted to have launched Momentus®XT, the industry’s first solid state hybrid drive, using the easicopy ASIC Migration product. We were able to use Nextreme NEW ASICs to accelerate time-to-market of Momentus®XT. eASIC seamlessly migrated our design to easicopy™. We see easicopy™ as a natural extension to our value engineering programs as we take products from initial ramp through to very high volumes.
By working with eASIC’s Nextreme NEW ASIC, we were able to develop a reference design for RemoteFX hardware solutions that is low in power consumption as well as low in up-front development cost. “We see eASIC’s Nextreme as a platform well suited for our efforts to quickly validate new technologies, but also as a catalyst in enabling our RemoteFX partner ecosystem to ramp up their solutions to market readiness.
eASIC’s Nextreme devices offered us the only solution to meet the stringent cost, performance and power requirements for our consumer digital video products. We were extremely impressed with the fast turnaround time and low up front cost. I am not surprised that eASIC has rapidly reached this impressive milestone. We are privileged to be the recipient of the 100th Design Win award.
Using eASIC Nextreme devices together with our SiP technologies, we were able to significantly speed up the product development cycle, achieving our target performance and moreover, saving the NRE cost. These benefits allowed us to get to market with a functioning board, on schedule and on budget.
eASIC has enabled us to very quickly develop a low-cost video processing ASIC for our product designed for the Chinese portable consumer device market. We just could not have achieved this with any low-cost FPGA, period.
With eASIC’s Nextreme, we were able to achieve 2X higher performance at 1/5th the power of our Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGA. This was crucial for securing our design win for our graphics acceleration system
In addition to the substantial system cost saving, we were pleasantly surprised at how quick we received working devices and how much lower the power consumption was compared to the low density FPGA we were using. eASIC’s zero-mask charge, fast turnaround ASICs helped us to make quick changes to keep up with the latest requirements from our customers and also rapidly ramp into high volume production.
Fujitsu Advanced Technologies Ltd is pleased to see that eASIC is delivering a 45nm product. This New ASIC is able to deliver the right combination of performance, power and price combined with low up-front cost. We find the power reduction especially important as we look to add more functionality to our world-class ICT infrastructure products.
We were able to develop our eASIC device in a reduced time and cost of a standard cell ASIC and with development costs that were even lower than an FPGA approach and the eASIC device worked right first time on our PBX-A9 validation and development board. We see the 90nm eASIC Nextreme technology as a very cost effective way of validating and demonstrating new products to our customer base and getting them to market much earlier.
We are excited to have a path to developing ASIC solutions quickly that are low in up-front development cost, quick to develop and gets us to market in rapid time to fully exploit our market opportunities. “We see eASIC’s Nextreme as a platform that we can use to create new high performance product derivatives quickly to respond to changing market needs, yet still be very competitive in volume production”.
