Microchip Technology's ASIC Products Division provides the QuickASIC MPGA family of quick time-to-market devices. These directly replace expensive FPGAs or other programmable logic devices, using Microchip's conversion technology. The QuickASIC program features:

  • Inexpensive masked versions of industry-standard programmable devices
  • Turnkey conversion from your existing FPGA
  • Deposit program (Zero-NRE™) refunds the entire conversion deposit over shipments
  • Entire conversion and manufacturing is handled by Microchip
  • Up to 42000 usable gates, with between 24 and 208 I/Os
  • 2.7 to 5.5V operation
  • Significantly lower power operation than FPGAs or CPLDs: 0.5uW/gate/MHz
  • 0.7 micron gate array technology
