jose california with r & d in bangalore karnataka . it designs high density and high performance field programmable gate arrays fpga chips manufactured at intel fabs since 2012 . its latest fpga product family built on 22 nm is called speedster 22i and is manufactured using tri gate process . 1 company was founded in 2004 by group from cornell university dr. rajit manohar dr. clinton kelly iv dr. virantha ekanayake and john lofton holt . 2 it was included in ee times 60 emerging startups list in 2005 . 3 prototypes of its fpgas was made using 180 nm tsmc september 2005 and 90 nm stmicroelectronix april 2006 . 2 4 achronix has raised over 120 million in venture funding . 5 according to interview in december 2012 with company chairman john lofton holt achronix may do ipo in 2014 . 6 contents 1 products 2 references 3 external links 4 see also products edit early product line from achronix was speedster fpgas manufactured using 65 nm node . this chip used 4 input luts grouped in blocks of size 8 lut each . total available lut count was 25 164 thousands and chip had maximum frequency of 1.5 ghz . 7 the speedster22i family of fpgas is their current product and is the industry s first fpgas with embedded hard ip for high performance wireline applications . the hard ip includes 10 40 100g ethernet interlaken pci express gen3 x8 and up to ddr3 x72 controllers . hardening key interface ip in the speedster22i devices frees up the programmable logic fabric that would otherwise need to be used to implement the interfaces using soft ip . the hard ip approach increases the effective capacity of the fpga and significantly reduces the fpga power consumption . references edit dylan mcgrath intel to fab fpgas for startup achronix eetimes 10 31 2010 a b the
