Standard Cell
Low ASP - Performance - Any IP - Low Power Smallest, Fastest Lowest Unit Cost NRE for All Mask Layers Lowest Power
Optical ASIC
High Performance - High Integration - Increased Bandwidth – Low Power – Small Footprint Ideal Solution for: Active Optical Cables (AOC) Multi-channel Optical Modules Optical Transceivers
Structured ASIC
The Structured ASIC with X-cell was developed because of the rising cost of Standard Cell NRE. The majority of the NRE came from the photomask cost. Low ASP - Performance - Low NRE – Fast TTM X-cells Memory PLL and DLL Supported I/O
Custom Structured ASIC
GigOptix Custom Structured ASIC inherits many of the benefits from Structured ASIC while offering the same IP selection as Standard Cell. It is especially suitable for ASSP (Application Specified Standard Product) where a family of products is derived from a master design to serve different markets and standards. Once the master design is done, the customer can create derivative ASICs…
