soft eFPGA IP

Overview

SPC V2 is ADICSYS's updated eFPGA featuring the latest clocking and arithmetic functions.
Under the hood transformations allow better LUT per mm2 count and scalability to 100k's LUT arrays.

Field measurements show 4X density gain over similar blocks, matching full custom FPGA cores without a need for test silicon.

ADICSYS FPGA IP's are still 100% synthesizable with no hidden trick.

Key Features

  • Please refer to the latest datasheet.

Benefits

  • Fully integrated into RTL SOC design flow:
    • SPC IP RTL/gate simulation.
    • Accurate Timing Analysis.
    • No black box (LEF/GDSII).
    • No verification gap.
  • Highly scalable and customizable:
    • Pre-existing SPC blocks or
    • Custom size SPC blocks.
    • 100 to 100k LUTs.
    • Multiple SPC’s per chip.
  • SPC LUT count is defined with single digit precision to optimize area.
  • Technology independent:
    • Any CMOS node with digital capacity:
      • CMOS 180nm – 14nm
      • SOI Rad-Hard
    • Any foundry.
    • Days/Weeks to deliver.
  • No FPGA background required.
  • One-time fee to use compilation tools.
  • Independent FPGA technology:
    • SPC does not copy proprietary commercial FPGA structures (Logic Elements, LUTs, BitRAMs, DSPs …).
    • SPC does not rely on commercial FPGA software or third party software, although it is possible to use them.
  • ADICSYS’ FPGA software:
    • Linux support for ASIC integration.
    • Distributable for Linux and Windows end users.
  • Compilation Runtime, RTL to bitstream:
    • 10k Gates per minute.
  • 2X to 4X higher density than competing blocks
