"GateField's high-density ProASIC products are targeted for ASIC and PLD system designers in computing, communications, consumer, networking, and industrial control applications. Since designers can stay within the standard ASIC high level design methodology, ProASIC devices are the ideal solution for rapid prototyping and low to medium volume production with the fastest time-to-market and they provide an easy and seamless migration path into high volume mask ASICs. In addition, GateField's ProASIC products provide a unique solution to IP (Intelligent Property) functional block protection and secure distribution. The underlying non-volatile flash-based process, combined with the ability to program a security lockout feature, guarantees IP protection far beyond that which is possible with SRAM-based FPGAs and CPLDs. GateField's ProCoreT partnership program addresses customers' IP and design re-use needs by providing immediate access to pre-determined, high quality and verified IP cores. The IP Evaluation Initiative (GateField together with Mentor Graphics and Aptix) has made available a rapid prototyping system preconfigured for IP evaluation and system-on-chip (SOC) development, providing a new, synergistic and innovative method of delivering IP in a secure manner to customers, giving them the quickest way possible to perform complete evaluation and verification of SOC."
