Fujitsu Presents New AccelArray ASICs

Fujitsu Ltd. (Japan) announced the release of the AccelArray structured ASICs that use standardized interconnect layers for basic system circuitry, and key IP macros embedded in the base master of the architecture. Based on the company's 0.11µm process, the ASICs target telecommunications and industrial automation applications.

The devices combine the flexibility and fast development cycles of field-programmable gate arrays with the compactness and performance of standard-cell ASICs. Of the six interconnect layers, three are standardized layers for basic system circuitry, while the remaining three can be customized in accordance with the customer's specifications. With a 1.2V ±0.1V power supply, the product has 455kg to 3,416kg and operates at a frequency of 333MHz. The ASICs are offered in a 625-pin to 1,681-pin FCBGA.
