FPGA Judgment Day: Rise of Second Generation Structured ASICs
The last 15 years have witnessed the demise in the number of cell-based ASIC designs as a means for developing customized SoCs. Rising NREs, development times and risk have mostly restricted the use of cell-based ASICs to the highest volume applications; applications that can withstand the multi-million dollar development costs associated with 1-2 design re-spins. Analysts estimate that the number of cell based ASIC design starts per year i...

Migrating FPGAs to structured ASICs in avionics to reduce SEU susceptibility
Today, FPGAs are being used more often in a broad spectrum of applications. With their inherent attributes, they offer avionics design engineers advantages not available in ASIC-based platforms. FPGAs are susceptible to particle-induced Single-Event Upsets (SEUs). Combining the use of FPGAs and a structured ASIC provides a clear migration path for designers to utilize.
