HardCopy Chip size

--- Quote Start ---

Hi,

I have a question about the chip size of hardcopy. In a case of my real gate

count is much less than the usable gate count, is the chip size going to be

smaller as well? Pin count is also much less than the available I/Os. Thank you!

Hi,

HardCopy devices have their programmability removed and are available only in certain packages. They die size is maybe smaller due to removed programmability. The number of I/O's depends on the package. As far a I know you can not scale down the number of I/O's.

Kind regard

Hi GPK.

Thanks for your answer. If it is as you said, then the size can't be scaled down too.

It isn't as good as what I expected. Anyway, thanks a lot!
