eASIC

Notability: - Over 100 Design Wins for Nextreme means that a large Number of Engineers are working with the devices - EDN Innovation Award Finalist - the award is very significant and should count towards meeting the notability criteria even if the company was 'only' finalist and did not win the award - Offers a new approach to ASICs and is therefore of general interest to engineers

eASIC is a fabless semiconductor company offering structured ASICs. Key difference to traditional structured ASICs is the production using direct write technologies, which significantly reduces prototyping time and cost associated with traditional ASIC designs.

Comparision to normal structured ASICs The difference between the ASICs offered by eASIC and those offered by other companies lies in the production of the ASIC. While traditionally structured ASICs have been produced masks for one or more metallazation layers, the metallization layer of eASIC devices are directly writen. It should be noted that the completed ASIC has very few differences compared to the
