Built-in
Cost Reduction Program By providing a complete turn-key conversion service, the engineering burden normally associated with conventional gate array redesign is eliminated. HardWire cost reduction benefits can be dramatic. The HardWire Gate Array is functionally equivalent and pin-for-pin compatible with the FPGA, but with a smaller die size and significantly lower cost.Xilinx provides a complete solution for product life-cycle management. This total solution is comprised of industry-leading FPGAs and development tools, Xilinx LogiCORE Modules, and HardWire ASIC. This complete solution reduces customers' development time and increases flexibility from design concept through to cost-effective production ICs. Xilinx HardWire ASICs offer a complete turn-key conversion service which eliminates the engineering and risk burden normally associated with conventional gate array retargeting. Using our patented DesignLock conversion process, the HardWire ASIC is functionally equivalent and pin-for-pin compatible with the FPGA because it uses the customer-verified FPGA database. FPGA + Development Tools + LogiCORE + HardWire ASICs =

Optimized for
No Risk Migration Xilinx has offered this cost reduction service since 1991, and is committed to support the conversion of designs which use all of the advanced FPGA features such as Select-RAM, JTAG, Configuration Emulation, and LogiCORE functions. No company in the industry has more experience converting Xilinx FPGA designs than Xilinx.
