HardWire Arrays

Xilinx HardWire Arrays complement the flexibility and time-to-market advantage of our programmable FPGA technologies. By providing customers with a transparent, no-risk migration path to dramatic cost reduction without the engineering burden associated with conventional gate array re-design, Xilinx can offer an extremely high production volume solution at a competitive cost.

HardWire Forms - Print and submit to Xilinx Product Marketing with the design file and a schematic when submitting the code for conversion to HardWire.

Programmable elements of the FPGA are removed in the HardWire Array resulting in a significantly smaller and lower cost die as illustrated above for an XC3000 series HardWire conversion. Functionality is precisely maintained.
