Achronix announces that its Speedcore eFPGA IP core shipments exceed 10 million

Shenzhen, China, March 2021 — Achronix recently announced that its Speedcore embedded FPGA (eFPGA) silicon intellectual property (IP) cores have shipped more than 10 million units. These eFPGA IP products are used in different ASICs of multiple customers. middle. Achronix is ​​the only high-end FPGA supplier that provides both high-performance independent FPGA chips and eFPGA IP. Speedcore eFPGA IP has been optimized for applications such as 5G wireless infrastructure, network equipment, computational storage, and automotive driver assistance systems.

Achronix Speedcore eFPGA IP enables customer companies to integrate FPGA functions into their ASIC or SoC devices. Speedcore eFPGA has a transformable architecture, which allows customers to define the FPGA logic array, memory and DSP processing capabilities of the eFPGA IP according to their needs. Compared with independent FPGA chip solutions, eFPGA can reduce device cost by 90% and power consumption by 75%, while increasing interface bandwidth by 10 times and reducing latency by 100 times. By embedding the flexible eFPGA IP core into the ASIC design, the product life cycle can be extended, the updated version of the product can be quickly developed, and flexible and modifiable functions are brought to the ASIC to support changing algorithms.

Steve Mensor, Vice President of Sales and Marketing of Achronix, said: “Speedcore eFPGA IP has been widely adopted in high-performance data acceleration applications that require integration flexibility and support emerging AI workloads. The delivery of chip products equipped with this eFPGA IP core There have been more than 10 million, which shows the rapid growth of eFPGA IP technology and the high quality of Achronix’s Speedcore eFPGA IP solutions.”

Customers can use the design process similar to standard ASIC IP Modules to introduce Speedcore eFPGA IP in their chip development process. Achronix has optimized the development process that supports customers to quickly deliver eFPGA design files, and can help customers choose ASIC design companies to further accelerate ASIC delivery. Speedcore eFPGA IP designers use the same Achronix ACE design tools as independent FPGA device designs, which shortens time to market and supports the use of independent Speedster7t FPGA devices for early prototype development.

In January 2021, Achronix and ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: ACEV) reached a final merger agreement, making Achronix listed on the Nasdaq. The transaction is expected to be completed in the first half of 2021.

Product availability

At present, Speedcore eFPGA IP can be used in multiple manufacturing processes of Taiwan semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), including 16FFC, 12FFC, N7 and N5. Achronix can also transplant Speedcore eFPGA to other process nodes according to customer requirements.
