SOFTSILICON Model
In the SOFTSILICON model, a standard chip product is offered similar to merchant chips such as Application Specific Standard Products (ASSPs). The chip feature set is pre-defined with some configuration options available. The product is updated regularly with new features to keep up with market developments. Because the product is based on FPGAs, the updates can be developed and delivered faster and more often than is possible using a typical semiconductor chip approach.
The business model for SOFTSILICON is based on a per-unit fee only for a bundled delivery of FPGA, image software (which implements the functionality) and driver software for ease of integration. A support and maintenance fee provides access to updates, while other support, training or adaptation services are charged separately.
