Ten Millionth ASIC Shipped Demonstrates A Growing Need For A Fast Time to Market and Low Cost Silicon Customization Product

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Thursday, July 31st 2014 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- eASIC Corporation, a leading provider of Single Mask Adaptable ASIC™ devices today announced that it has shipped over ten million chips to date. The majority of the shipments are utilized in some of the fastest growing and dynamic markets. eASIC chips can be found in a variety of applications such as NAND Flash controllers, LTE and 3G radio heads, mobile wireless backhaul systems plus many others.
“eASIC has become the go-to provider for fast time to market, cost effective, mass customization ASIC devices,” said Ronnie Vasishta, President and CEO of eASIC. “This milestone demonstrates that the need for our product has been building quickly and continues to expand deeply and broadly. The alternatives that have been around for over two decades, ASIC and FPGA are no longer able to meet the needs for many high growth applications.”
"Power and performance are key constraints for many of today's fastest-growing electronics markets. Cloud storage, wireless infrastructure and solid-state/hybrid hard drives and other applications need to balance these attributes against total cost-of-ownership and time to market, often a very challenging high-wire act,” said Jordan Selburn, Senior Principal Analyst at IHS. "In these type of systems, structured ASICs are increasingly able to provide an optimal combination of qualities outside the reach of silicon architectures such as FPGAs."
