0.18um Structured ASIC by ChipX
Fabless Semiconductor Provider licensing ARM Processor through Foundry Program
Product Description
The CX5000 System Slice is designed to be the SoC platform gate array of choice, offering a range of eight options. At the low end, the 189-pad CX50041 delivers 44K gates and 64K bits fast SRAM/ROM. The largest device, the 1089-pad CX51761, has 1.8M gates and 2.6M bits memory plus many useful PLL and DLL macros.
For memory-loaded designs, ChipX has configured a second CX5000 product line, known as the ‘Memory Pig.’ Available in four versions, and again including combinations of PLLs, DLLs, and high-speed I/O cells. Memory Pig devices are available with between 1.0 and 4.5M bits of memory with a memory to logic gate ratio of over 500%.

The CX5000 System Slice design libraries are available now for download from the ChipX website (www.chipexpress.com). ChipX can also accept Memory Pig design handoffs. Design NREs range from $35K to $100K depending on the design service needs of each application. Unit pricing for devices at a 100K/year run rate vary from under $2 to about $60 subject to device size, packaging and test requirements.
