Why move from FPGA to ASIC?

 
 

FPGAs are ideal for prototyping and low-volume products, but as volumes grow, ASICs offer decisive advantages:

 

  • Supply Chain resilience 

  • Security & IP Protection

  • Lower unit cost at medium to high volumes

  • Higher performance and deterministic timing

  • Reduced power consumption

  • Smaller form factor and better system integration

  • Radiation immunity

 

Presto Engineering helps you determine when and how to make the transition, ensuring maximum return on investment.

 

 

Embedded eFPGA: Bringing Hardware Adaptability to ASICs

Modern semiconductor designs face a fundamental trade-off:

 

    • FPGAs offer flexibility but come with higher cost, power, and security risks

    • ASICs deliver performance and efficiency, but limit the hardware reconfigurability

 

Embedded FPGA (eFPGA) may offer a strong alternative for certain applications, combining the best of both worlds.

 

By integrating eFPGA directly into an ASIC or SoC, a configurable hardware fabric remains available after tape-out, enabling systems to evolve over time without redesigning silicon.

 

 

Keep Hardware Flexibility Inside Your ASIC

 

Circuit imprimé futuriste avec eFPGA

 

With eFPGA, a portion of your chip remains programmable and adaptable, allowing you to:

 

    • Update algorithms post-deployment

    • Adapt to new standards, protocols, or sensors

    • Fix hardware bugs without redesign

    • Extend product lifecycle significantly

    • Reduce obsolescence risks

 

This approach transforms ASICs into evolving platforms, not fixed-function devices.

 

 

 

A Hybrid Architecture for Complex Systems

0027_presto-engineering-colombelles-27_WEB

 

 

eFPGA enables a hybrid architecture:

 

    • Critical functions and advanced analog blocks → implemented as pure ASIC (performance, power efficiency)

    • Evolving or uncertain functions → implemented in eFPGA (flexibility, adaptability)

    • Both functions implemented on the same silicon, using standard EDA flow


 

Benefits:

✔ ASIC performance with FPGA flexibility
✔ Low power, optimized silicon footprint
✔ Post-silicon hardware reconfigurability
✔ Reduced design risk and extended lifecycle
✔ Faster time-to-market
✔ Any foundry, any technology node

 

This is particularly valuable for AI, signal processing, industrial control, and secure applications, where algorithms continuously evolve.

 

 

 

Business Impact

 

      • Reduce total cost of ownership across the product lifecycle

      • Eliminate costly silicon redesigns

      • Extend product lifecycle significantly

      • Accelerate time-to-market and deployment

      • Future-proof your architecture against evolving requirements
