Vantis Announces Price Cuts of More Than 40 Percent for High Density MACH 5 CPLDs SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 30, 1998--Vantis, an AMD company, today announced price cuts of over 40 percent for its higher density MACH(R) 5 complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs). ''Networking applications have always been ideal for programmable logic because of the time-to-market demands and the design flexibility that PLDs can offer,'' said Andy Robin, vice president of marketing for Vantis. ''These applications, as well as telecommunication applications, often require high-density CPLDs. The new price points of the MACH 5 combined with 3-volt technology, ISP and high performance, will continue to make these devices attractive to our customers.'' According to the company, the MACH 5 devices have experienced sales growth of over 40 percent per quarter. They are popular with engineers because of the high performance the devices offer with speeds as fast as 7.5 nanoseconds. Additionally, the devices are 3-volt, In-System Programmable (ISP), spanning from 128 macrocells to 512 macrocells and with an excellent selection of I/O-package combinations. The highest density portion of the MACH 5 family, which addresses the performance and volume requirements of a rapidly growing number of today's PLD designers, includes the M5LV products at 320 to 512 macrocells. Specifically, they are shown here in their 120 I/O versions: Q1'97 Price Today's Price Product Macrocells I/Os (1,000 pc) (1,000 pc) M5LV-320/120 320 120 $74.81 $42.43 M5LV-384/120 384 120 $94.50 $56.70 M5LV-512/120 512 120 $145.15 $73.44 Vantis, an AMD company, provides high performance field programmable gate array (FPGA) and programmable logic device (PLD) solutions for communications, computing and industrial applications. Vantis focuses on designing and marketing advanced programmable logic products that satisfy the speed, density and ease of use requirements for today's logic designs. As an AMD company, Vantis has access to AMD's world class process technology, state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and worldwide customer support.
