In just 20 months, Flex Logix has rapidly achieved several key milestones: the company successfully commercialized key FPGA technologies that were first presented in an award-winning paper at the industry’s annual ISSCC conference; announced initial availability of its key EFLX product line, including specialized DSP and Block RAM cores; and successfully completed a series A venture finding round. The appointment of a VP Silicon Engineering is another key milestone on the company’s accelerated development track.
“I have worked with Abhijit for many years when I was CEO at Rambus,” said Geoff Tate, Flex Logix CEO and co-founder. “He joined Rambus to implement the digital logic on our critical high performance memory interface, and went on to manage the digital logic team and multiple mixed signal teams.
