We've eliminated the three to four month lead times. We've eliminated huge minimum ASIC-order quantities of thousands of units. These issues just don't exist with Clear Logic. Essentially, we are giving engineers the best of the FPGA and the ASIC worlds with none of the downsides of either option. Pricing and Availability - The 8,000 gate CL8820A, the 12,000 gate CL81188A, and the 2,500 gate CL8282A are available immediately in all Altera FLEX 8000 production packages and speed selections.
Prototypes are available within two weeks.
Clear Logic has none of the NRE charges or minimum order sizes that are associated with masked-ASICs. Designers are not required to develop test vectors and, due to Clear Logic's unique process, Clear Logic devices are guaranteed to function identically to their programmable counterparts with no timing problems. Clear Logic is privately held.
