eASIC brings a number of advantages as a partner for ASIC migration. A number of these help to mitigate traditional risks that are associated with cell-based, ASIC, including:

1. Choice of Fabs - Designers have a choice of fabs where their easicopy ASIC can be built. Sometimes certain fabs are already approved within the company while others may have not gone through the certification process. eASIC allows OEMs to choose from a number of selected fab partners.
2. Design Risk Mitigation- having successfully converted an FPGA prototype design to eASIC Nextreme or Nextreme-2, eASIC engineers have already made a number of changes that will make the conversion to an easicopy ASIC simpler. In addition your designers will work with the same eASIC engineers that have already helped you to successfully take your eASIC Nextreme or Nextreme-2 design to production.
3. Market Entry Risk Mitigation- getting a low NRE, fast turnaround eASIC Nextreme or Nextreme-2 device to production quickly enables you to secure early design wins with key customers for your product. When your product starts to ramp to higher volume you can transition to your easicopy ASIC in order to further reduce cost and increase your gross margins.
4. Production Risk Mitigation- When your easicopy design is in production you have peace of mind knowing that you can work with one company to help you successfully manage your transition to very high volume production.
