Description

The Clear Logic CL8000 Laser-Configured ASIC (LASICfi) family is a system level second source to Altera FLEXfi 8000 products. For designs not requiring in-system reprogrammability, design verification can be performed using the programmable Altera devices, and Clear Logic LASICs can be used for low cost, high volume production.

Specifications and features

- Laser-Configured ASIC (LASICfi) technology offers the ultimate combination of performance, flexibility, and low cost

- Functionally, architecturally, and electrically compatible with industry-standard FLEXfi 8000 series FPGAs

- High Density

• 6,000 Usable gates
• 636 Flip-flops
• 136 Maximum user I/O pins

- Laser fuse technology provides very fast, dense interconnect routing

- Optional Instant-On configuration eliminates the need for an external configuration EPROM

- Fabricated using 0.5 micron CMOS process

- Very low current consumption (active and standby)

- Supports 3.3 volt or 5.0 volt I/O operation

- Alpha particle immune
