GigOptix, Inc. (NYSE MKT: GIG), a leading supplier of advanced
high speed semiconductor components and Structured ASIC chips for
use in various areas such as Cloud connectivity, data centers,
consumer electronics links and interactive applications, through
optical and wireless communications networks, today announced that
its Custom Structured ASIC applications are establishing GigOptix
as one the foremost providers of ASICs for the fast growing
cryptocurrency bit mining market.
Based on recent product releases, the combination of GigOptix’s
leading Structured ASIC and Standard Cell technology have proven
the customizable CMOS platform to be a cost effective,
high-performance structured ASIC solution with a dramatically
reduced product turnaround time compared to traditional ASIC
sources. This makes it an excellent offering to address the
recently emerging computationally intensive cryptocurrency
applications like Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE),
Ripple (XRP), Peercoin (PPC), Mastercoin (MSC), and Namecoin
(NMC).
“GigOptix Structured ASICs provide a quickly deployed, low cost
alternative in high-speed systems where FPGAs have been
traditionally employed. We are pleased to see a strong interest in
cryptocurrency applications where high speed is paramount and low
power is becoming more important,” said Anil Chaudhry, Vice
President and General Manager of the ASIC Product Line at GigOptix.
“Many cryptocurrencies have increasing computational complexity
with rapid design cycles, which GigOptix Structured ASICs know-how
and Intellectual Property (IP) address efficiently through advanced
CMOS processes and fast turnaround times. We take care of the
productized silicon so that our customers – from recreational
hobbyists to the most advanced commercial digital drilling
operations – can focus on their algorithms and system
interaction.”
GigOptix’s Custom Structured ASIC technology requires
customization of only the metal interconnect layers, making the
development cost a fraction of the upfront Non-Recurring
Engineering (NRE) investment normally required by other suppliers
for a fully custom Standard Cell ASIC. GigOptix technology enables
the bit mining system developers to access the necessary technology
for building ASICs at an affordable upfront cost instead of using
high powered, high cost FPGA’s or high NRE fully custom Standard
Cell ASICs. The reduced manufacturing turnaround times associated
with GigOptix Custom Structured ASICs are a further advantage to
the bit mining community, where fast time to market is critical to
the successful deployment of new systems.
GigOptix is actively engaged as a partner for silicon
manufacturing for the bit mining community’s newest ASIC designs,
with a wide range of applications from the smallest silicon
geometries to larger process nodes. This enables a variety of
project scales and related budgets, thus minimizing the upfront
development costs normally associated with this type of ASIC
development. By leveraging robust customization, developers will
benefit from lower development costs while delivering a faster time
to market.
