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.
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.
For FPGA conversions, rapid access to XPressArray (XPA)
technology can be achieved via AMI Semiconductor's
NETRANS® FPGA-to-ASIC design flow. Alternatively, the

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.
