New ContributorECCN for N5X eASIC
I am looking for the ECCN for the N5X (previously known as Diamond Mesa) device.

Super ContributorHi,
Apologize for the delay in response as I was on leave last week.
Upon checking with the export team, there is no ECCN for the base array, as there is no export necessary as part of the eASIC business process.
Hope this will clarify. Thank you for your patience.

New ContributorHello,
Thank you for checking, this is an interesting response as Intel’s FPGA base arrays have ECCN numbers assigned but do not contain any customer specific information.
So if a customer uses an eASIC part and does not include anything that would be considered covered by export control then his entire design being fab’d and manufactured overseas would not need an ECCN number in spite of the fact that it contains encryption technology with a key strength of 256 bits.
If the customer would need an ECCN number for that design, wouldn’t that be considered equivalent to a “base array” export as the customer has not added anything to the design and cannot remove the section that would be considered covered by export control.
If Intel is leaving it up to all eASIC customers to manage the export control process regardless of content, then it would be helpful to be up front and say that is the case. Right now there seems to be an inconsistency in the approach between FPGA base arrays and eASIC base arrays.
Thanks,
Bryan
