LSI Logic extends platform ASIC leadership with two new RapidChip families - the Xtreme and Integrator
"* Available now for designs in 0.11 micron process technology
* Integrated SerDes up to 4.25 Gbps, compliant with multiple standards
* Up to 400 MHz performance for on-chip processors
* From 2.9 to 18 million available ASIC gates and 1.1 to 10 million bits of embedded RAM "
MILPITAS, Calif., July 21, 2003 - LSI Logic Corporation (NYSE: LSI) today unveiled two new families of pre-built slices, the RapidChip™ Xtreme and the RapidChip Integrator. The Xtreme family is optimized for high performance, high-bandwidth, market specific applications such as communications, storage and computing. While the Integrator family also targets these markets, it is additionally suited for uses in consumer electronics, industrial, security, instrumentation, imaging and others. Both families use 0.11-micron process technology and build upon the RapidChip value proposition, providing designers with fast, predictable and affordable custom logic solutions.
"With the announcement of two new RapidChip families, LSI Logic extends its leadership position in developing innovative products that deliver the fastest time to custom silicon at the lowest total cost," said Dr. Handel Jones, founder and CEO of International Business Strategies, Inc. (IBS). "The platform ASIC approach allows more design teams effective access to complex SoCs in sub-micron design for a broad range of applications in as little as six months. RapidChip significantly expands the end-market opportunities that can be met by LSI Logic from a cost and performance perspective."
