Who can clone/manufacture an ASIC chip?
Rat_Patrol:
I have some custom processors I am interested in feeling out for bringing back into production (for my use).
They are ASIC, obviously, so an example IC needs to be deconstructed and copied. These are old chips from the late 80's.
Any reputable companies that offer this service?
Benta:
It's a question of your wallet.
A simple gate array NRE is in the range of $1M upwards. Perhaps you should look at FPGAs instead? An 80s chip can't be that complicated.
KaneTW:
Unless you have significant volumes, don't bother with custom silicon. The NRE costs are huge, even with prototyping services.
Jeroen3:
Did you ask the company that made them in the first place?
They are probably more willing to make a few thousand if you do not need any warranties or special testing.
