IRIS Technologies, Inc. Our Market: We offer a leading-edge, next-generation ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) and SOC (System on a Chip) prototyping solutions. Our Solution: Our prototyping system consists of a set of interconnected, very-large capacity FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays). Our newest generation of patent-pending family of products is based on Altera’s Stratix IV FPGAs. Our solutions can nominally run simulations in the range of 100 to 150MHz. Design capacity scales from 10 to 240 Million usable ASIC gates . Therefore, it offers the ability to boot operating system, run system diagnostics and application-level software – all before an ASIC/SOC is committed to silicon. Imagine. Competitive Advantage: Due to rapidly increasing FPGA capacity and FPGA software capabilities, our latest generation of ASIC/SOC prototyping solutions offer a superb price/performance and scalability, as compared to any other product in the market today. Our newest offering routinely runs in excess of 50 times faster and at a fraction of the cost of a typical hardware emulator — with embedded debug hooks, unlike any other prototyping solution. In contrast to other solutions with proprietary hardware interfaces that thwart extensibility, IRIS system offers open, high-performance, Altera HSMC connectors — users can extend their prototyping solutions with daughter cards sourced from IRIS or Altera 3rd party partners.
