ASIC to FPGA Conversion

Atmel Strategy for Space Custom ICs Atmel strategy is FPGA for low gate count, or low volume, or planning constraint ASIC for everything else Atmel FPGA offer is AT40KEL040 up to 40K equivalent ASIC gates 18Kbit of embedded RAM ATF280E (available in 2008) up to 280K equivalent ASIC gates 115Kbit of embedded RAM Atmel ASIC offer is Up to 5M ASIC gates with technology/libraries down to 0.18µm FPGA to ASIC Conversion 6/2/2019

FPGA to ASIC Conversion Converting to ASIC means benefiting from the ASIC technical advantages such as having a faster and smaller chip and lower power consumption while maintaining the original functionality In the aerospace domain, it also means better reliability and radiation performances Atmel offers different types of conversions ‘FPGA replacement’ When 1 FPGA needs to be converted into 1 ASIC with pin-to-pin compatibility 'FPGA migration‘ When there is no pin-to-pin compatibility When 2 or more FPGA need to be converted into a single ASIC (multi-conversion). When additional features are requested on the original FPGA design. 6/2/2019

FPGA Replacement Atmel has developed an FPGA replacement offer for Actel RH1020/1280 and RT54SX32S/RT54SX72S families. This offer allows our customers to get the best price at a minimum resource investment. Key Features Atmel performs a turnkey design from the FPGA RTL code. Pin-to-pin compatibility. Atmel provides QML parts using its Rad Hard 0.5um or 0.35um ASIC libraries and technology. Short cycle time (4-6 weeks from order entry to prototype delivery). Low NRE or no NRE depending on flight production quantity. No additional cost such as burn in boards, qualification parts... A new FPGA replacement offer will be available soon for Actel RTAX family, meanwhile, we propose the FPGA Migration solution 6/2/2019

FPGA Migration This solution is closer to the development of an ASIC which is based on the design as validated by the customer with the FPGA. The various stages of FPGA migration Customer performs the Front-End design using the appropriate libraries among Atmel Rad Hard 0.5um, 0.35um or 0.18um ASIC family. Customer delivers an ASIC net-list, formalized by a Logic Review. Atmel performs the Back-End Design, formalized by a Design Review. Package is selected from Atmel preferred package list (all space qualified). Atmel provides QML parts using the selected libraries and technologies. 6/2/2019
