Product Description
Targeted at medium-density, high-speed, 1.5V ASIC applications and high-density FPGA-to-ASIC conversions, the XPressArray-II (XPA-II) 0.15µm structured ASIC is an innovative next-generation technology platform that reduces time-to-market for system-on-chip (SoC) applications while delivering significant NRE and unit cost savings. XPA-II offers a true drop-in replacement for Xilinx Virtex-II and Virtex-II Pro and Altera APEX-II and Stratix FPGAs, making it the industry's lowest cost ASIC conversion solution. The result is a simplified route to cost reductions for OEMs looking to combine the flexibility of FPGA prototyping with a path to ASICs for final production. Operating with system clock speeds up to 210MHz for 18x18 soft multipliers and local clocks up to 500MHz and available in a variety of package options, XPA-II 0.15µm devices deliver high-performance, low power ASIC solutions with densities to 4.8M ASIC gates. Configurable memory ranges from 258Kbits to 4.8Mbits, which increases up to 6.1Mbits of memory with the addition of distributed configurable memory, assuming 50 percent of the logic sites are used for memory. Flexible I/O technology includes support for a comprehensive array of common standards and compatibility with 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V I/O

schemes. I/Os support DCI on-chip termination. DDR support for high-speed memory interface is built-in. High fault coverage is provided through integrated scan-test, memory BIST and JTAG support. For FPGA conversions, rapid access to XPressArray (XPA) technology can be achieved via AMI Semiconductor's NETRANS® FPGA-to-ASIC design flow. Alternatively, the availability of XPA synthesis libraries for leading commercial synthesizers allows conversion of FPGA designs to ASICs by simply re-targeting from an FPGA library to an XPA library.

Technology
XPA-II technology is ideal for medium density ASIC applications requiring high performance and low power, with 1.5V operation. XPA-II devices are fabricated using a hybrid technology that integrates an established 0.15µm front-end process with a proven AMIS metal finishing technology, which is used to produce a customized back-end. The 0.15µm processing steps are common to multiple applications, reducing costs by allowing existing tooling to be utilized. At the same time, tooling and manufacturing costs are significantly lower for the metal finishing process than for traditional 0.15µm cell-based processes. The result is that XPA-II delivers reduced cycle times and significant reductions in terms of both NRE and unit cost through manufacturing utilizing structured ASIC technology. There are nine bases in the AMIS XPA-II family. These bases offer between 511K and 4.8M gates and up to 4.8Mbits of block RAM. RAM may be configured as single or dual port with asymmetrical port widths. The architecture also supports RAM initialization. Flexible I/O technology includes fully configurable core and I/O power supply pads and support for one of the industry's widest ranges of I/O standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS, PCI33, PCI66, PCI-X 133, PCI-X 2.0, GTL/+, HSTL class 1, 2, 3, and 4, SSTL2 class 1 and 2, LVPECL input, and LVDS. Comprehensive clock management circuitry features up to eight all digital DLLs and a maximum of eight PLLs. Compared to equivalent FPGAs operating at the same voltage levels, XPA-II devices offer higher densities, better performance and lower power consumption. Low power consumption further contributes to cost savings as lower cost plastic packaging can be used in many cases. XPA-II products are designed for pin-for-pin replacement of Xilinx and Altera FPGAs and offer integration of multiple FPGAs into one ASIC. Package options include a wide range of Flip Chip BGAs in 1.00mm and 1.27mm pitches.
