How long has Tabula been working on their 40nm ABAX 3PLD?
Tabula taped our first 40nm test chip in 2007. The purpose was to see Spacetime in actual silicon. It helped verify and improve the high performance fabric and to see what a great Spacetime architecture really looked like. Tabula also taped-out a 40nm I/O test chip in 2008 to verify and fine-tune its high performance 6.5Gb/s SerDes. Tabula then put everything together with ABAX in its first production device. This is the ABAX 04 which is in customer hands today.
