newelectronics.co.uk, Sept. 03, 2024 –
EnSilica, a chip maker of mixed signal ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), has announced that it has received the first production orders for an Arm-based Industrial Controller ASIC.
The order, which was first announced on 25 July 2022, and awarded by a leading European industrial Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), is for an ASIC that will be a key component in their factory automation controller systems. Tape-out for the ASIC was announced on 10 October 2023.
The first orders for the ASIC are for delivery to the customer in the first half of 2025, with total production revenues over a seven year period expected to be worth more than $30m, based on the customer's estimate.

This milestone demonstrates that EnSilica is adding to its pipeline of ASICs in supply to generate the strong reoccurring revenues which the fabless business is proven to deliver when well executed."
