Achronix Aspires to Make Embedded FPGA IP Mainstream
November 18, 2016
Programmable logic IP cores, intended for integration within a broader-function ASIC, are a long-discussed and –explored product option that has yet to achieve more than niche adoption. Small FPGA IP players such as Flex Logic Technologies and Menta linger in the market, but picking such a supplier for your next SoC can be a gamble; what happens if they get acquired or otherwise disappear? And big FPGA vendors like Altera (now Intel's Programmable Solutions Group) and Xilinx, along with medium-sized suppliers such as Actel (now part of Microsemi) and Lattice Semiconductor, are focused on selling standalone programmable logic ICs, with little to-date motivation to detract from those lucrative product offerings via IP licensing deals.
