FPSC - Field Programmable System Chip

Lattice Semiconductor was introduced Field Programmable System Chip (FPSC), where ASIC macrocell and FPGA gates were in same silicon die. FPSC combines a regular array of SRAM based FPGA programmable function units (PFUs) and an ASIC area. An interface block allows the transfer of data and clocks between the two circuit types. An additional feature is the ability to “program” the ASIC area using RAM bits in the FPGA bit stream that are set aside for this purpose providing the user added flexibility. The embedded macrocells hold industry-standard Intellectual Property - bus interface, high-speed line interface, and high-speed transceiver cores. When these macrocells are combined with hundreds of thousands of programmable gates they can be used in a variety of advanced system designs.
