Toshiba: FFSA

FFSA (Fit Fast Structured Array) - chips are developed by Toshiba in cooperation with BaySand company. Characteristics of chips of FPGA and ASIC are united in them.

Products consist of standard blocks which configuring is executed by several metalization layers. At the expense of it it was succeeded to reduce cost and to reduce development terms in comparison with ASIC, at the same time receiving the best performance measures and energy consumption in comparison with FPGA.

NEC uses the FFSA large-scale integrated circuit

On January 23, 2015 Toshiba Corporation announced the beginning of release by NEC company of a radio relay equipment for mobile networks using the FFSA large-scale integrated circuit.

Chips of FFSA represent the new flexible custom large-scale integrated circuits capable to replace with itself large batches of the schemes FPGA, ASIC with I/Os and SerDes (Serializer Deserializer) and SRAM configured under needs of the consumer. FFSA supports different protocols of SerDes for wired and wireless networks, storage functions of data.

Toshiba plans positioning of the schemes FFSA as new generation of the custom large-scale integrated circuits providing timely development of products and helping consumers to improve results of their system engineering.
