Small mention about LSI in: Message 3388889 Simultaneously, high-density programmable products are traveling rapidly down the process geometry curve, overtaking and passing gate arrays. Although ASIC vendors are taking their leading-edge cell-based products down to 0.25- and 0.18-æm levels, they are leaving gate arrays at more conservative geometries because the growth for ASICs is predicted to lie with standard cells. Companies like LSI Logic place most of their development emphasis there, rather than shrinking gate array architectures. This competition of small-process-geometry programmable devices versus conservative gate arrays is a factor swinging the balance in the former's favor.
