We provide onsemi is the industry leader in conversions of FPGAs to ASICs. We provide significant cost savings, performance enhancement, and product assurance. Our customers have been able to reduce system costs considerably by successfully substituting their high cost FPGAs with drop-in ASIC replacements in over 5,000 applications. In most cases, higher performance, lower power, better thermal performance, and improved radiation immunity can be achieved in the ASIC. FPGA Flow Diagram Why Convert? onsemi has successfully converted thousands of designs from costly FPGAs to efficient ASICs throughout the past few decades. The lower unit cost of an ASIC has long been a key motivating factor in such conversions. However, the appeal of FPGA to ASIC conversions goes far beyond the cost savings. The significant power savings realized through using an ASIC in place of an FPGA significantly increases battery life. In contrast to the programmable logic used in FPGAs, the hard-coding of the logic in an ASIC does not allow reprogramming of the device, thereby increasing security and reliability. This added reliability makes ASICs the obvious choice for flight-critical applications where SRAM based FPGAs are typically not qualified. onsemi provides a parallel development path for FPGA development. This leverages the inherent flexibility of an FPGA during the development phase while accelerating the path to low-cost production with an ASIC. onsemi offers competitive design cycle times, allowing for a quick ramp to production. We also maintain manufacturing processes for long periods of time to help ensure an uninterrupted supply. Conversion Reference Manual FPGA Design Flow FPGA-to-ASIC Conversion Features FPGAs use leading edge technologies in order to obtain the same system performance as an ASIC in older technologies. A design implemented in an FPGA will have a larger die size due to the architecture and fabric, and due to the programmable logic
