Process Porting

Overview

We offer comprehensive process porting/migration solutions—including IP Process Porting, migrating from FPGA to ASIC and vice versa.

• Process Node Migration: Move designs to newer technology nodes for better performance and lower power.
• IP Process Porting: Adapt IP cores across processes without losing performance.
• ASIC to FPGA Porting: Convert ASIC designs into FPGAs for prototyping or cost savings.
• FPGA to ASIC Porting: Transform FPGAs into ASICs for enhanced performance, reduced power consumption, and lower costs.

We offer comprehensive process porting and migration solutions to optimize performance, power, and cost efficiency. Our services include process node migration to advanced technologies, IP process porting across foundries, ASIC-to-FPGA conversions for prototyping flexibility, and FPGA-to-ASIC migrations for higher efficiency, lower power, and reduced production costs.

With Insaito, you gain access to an experienced team equipped with cutting-edge tools, innovative flows, and methodologies—all strongly committed to client success.
