Bill: << Were they just selling a mask programmed version of your design on the same base silicon, or was it a "redesign" down to a smaller chip that only had the circuits your design requires?>> Just a masked programmed version <<Also do you know what the NRE charges are do do this conversion? Put another way, do you know how many chips you need to buy to break even between the cost of the ALTR FPGA and a cheaper ASIC conversion?>> Usually 10K devices/yr is the cutoff. NRE charges included in the price of the asic. Assumes no horrendous costs of re-qual.] Regards, Ken
