Monday (March 1) made public details about its three-dimensional programmable logic architecture, which the company says will enable a new class of devices, 3PLDs, that offer the capability of an ASIC, ease of use of an FPGA and price points suitable for volume production.According to Tabula executives, the company's Spacetime architecture rapidly reconfigures to executive portions of a design in a series of steps. Compared with a 40-nm FPGAs, Tabula's 40-nm devices will offer more than twice the logic density, twice the memory density, nearly three times as many memory ports and four times higher DSP performance, they claim.EETimes.com - 3-D architecture promises new type of PLD Quote
