Xilinx EasyPath Pricing

Tue Aug 03, 2010 1:47 pm   

Hi, i am working on a project where i am developing my architecture o
Virtex-4 FPGA. My ultimate goal is to port my design to Xilinx EasyPat
FPGA. But i dont have any idea, how xilinx charges for implementing desig
on EasyPath. there is no guide wither they charge against gate count, o
FPGA family. what ever criteria they use, i want some general quotatio
which can give me idea about pricing. Hoping for quick response. thanks!

You'll get a quicker response if you contact your Xilinx sales rep.

Probably asking for some 100K... Still, less than ASIC.

From a Xilinx press release:
"For example, list price for a Spartan-3 EasyPath XCE3S1500 is $12.95*
U.S. with $75,000 NRE and 50,000 unit minimum order quantities in
second half calendar year 2005."

OK,i get some idea of pricing from Xilinx Cost Analyzer. But this i
abstract and comparing EasyPath price with competitors ASIC. There is
cell in this calculator which asks to input Easypath unit cost. Can yo
tell me where i get this unit cost from?
As unit costs for FPGA's from xilinx are clearly mentioned, i am unable t
get unit cost for EaspyPath FPGA's clearly.
One more thing, i google internet and found some articles, mentionin
EasythPath saves 80% of FPGA cost. so this mean that, for instance, if FPG
cost $100 then its EasyPath partner will cost $20. Am i correct in m
understanding?
Please provide me complete pricing detail for all easypath FPGA'
families.
Thanks in advance.

No. Though you ARE correct that 100 reduced by 80% is 20.

If you go back and look at those articles I think it will say something
like easypath "can" save "up to" 80% in the right situation. There are
other factors, like how many per year are you going to buy. Like others
have said, talk to your xilinx salesman.
