#128684 - FPGA conversion cost Responding to: ???'s previous message  | 
I just made my e-mail address public.
 IF the 50K design can be made to work with a 0.35u process (i.e. speeds of < 75 MHz), and can tolerate a 3.3V or 5V supply, and IF there are less than 240 pins, and you have some sort of logic simulations for the design, then NRE = $25K, and 2K parts = ~$7-$8 USD. If you break the above rules, then we are talking about an 0.18u array. Then the NRE goes to $50K, and unit pricing can approach $50 USD, depending on the package.  |

| Jez see this | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Hhm, but this paralleling is widely used! | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Parallel MOS transistors are fine | 01/01/70 00:00 | |

| What is this circuit intended to do, Ralph? | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
