45-nm ASIC program provides 45 prototypes

The Value Shuttle program is said to significantly lower the entry cost for 45-nm ASIC designs. The system enables designers to receive f45 eASIC Nextreme-2 new ASIC prototypes for only $45,000. Reducing the cost enables designers to bring forward the transition point from FPGA to ASIC.

Nextreme-2 NEW ASICs provide up to 7.4 M ASIC gates, a 500-MHz fabric, up to 11.5 Mbits of memory, and DDR3 support. The price covers the cost of 45 prototypes, but does not include software tools and licensing, design services, where applicable, and production. A free 30-day evaluation of the eTools 8.2 Design Suite is available. ($45,000 — available now.)
