EasyPath FPGAs

Features:

The company claims that the new families of Spartan-3 and Virtex-4 EasyPath FPGAs deliver unprecedented price-performance value over Structured ASICs, with the most comprehensive selection of silicon and intellectual property (IP) platforms available.

Advances in the patented EasyPath test technology also provide the unique benefit of design flexibility with platform features and price points better than those available with Structured ASICs. This opens the gateway for more companies and applications to leverage all the advantages of FPGAs from prototype through production at the lowest possible cost.
