#CHIPS: "3-D FPGAs enable silicon convergence"

Altera has already started adding MPUs, DSPs, ASICs, ASSPs to its FPGAs making silicon convergence a fait accompli, but Waters point here is that with silicon interposers this ability now has a 3-D platform to take it mainstream. R. Colin Johnson


The three-dimensional (3-D) field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is enabling the era of silicon convergence, according to Altera Corp. (San Jose, Calif.), which is incorporating application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), application-specific standard products (ASSPs), digital signal processors (DSPs) and micro-processor units (MPUs).
