Gate Arrays and Embedded Arrays


Easy selection, simple development, Flexible Production. Implement your ASIC quickly and easily with one of our gate arrays or embedded arrays.

NEC Electronics' gate arrays and embedded arrays offer a broad product lineup, ease of development, and fast turnaround time to mass production, making the implementation of an ASIC much easier.
SOG type products that can operate at a clock frequency of 250 MHz have been released as part of the CMOS-12M Series.
These products can be used to easily and inexpensively achieve high-speed transmission in consumer and industrial equipment.


Contributes to small form-factor packaging and lower overall system costs / Supports legacy 5V power supplies / Provides up to 250 MHz operation for improved performance
