Achronix Semiconductor in Talks for Merger...

[gnuarm.del...@gmail.com]

An IPO of sorts really. They would merge with ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp NASDAQ: ACEV and this company would be seeking investors.

Achronix has been profitable, so this should be a good deal. I\'m looking to buy in.

These IPOs done through SPACs are trying to take advantage of market exuberance which will surely pass at some point. It might be easy to get burned when everything turns. I\'m suspicious of new fads in the dark financial arts.

I don\'t know much about Achronix, except that I believe they no longer use any of the asynchronous architecture on which they were originally based. Maybe they should change their name to Chronix? But that sounds like Dr. Dre album or a persistent disease. I\'m not sure how they survive in a market ruled by the duopoly, but they must be doing something OK, since they\'re still around.

They seem to be doing a lot more than just OK.

They moved to a different market, their main product is an embedded FPGA
IP core (and associated expensive to develop backend tools). Given the
cost of making an ASIC/SoC and time to market pressures it makes sense
to add some reconfigurable bits so you can fix some \"oopses\" and add
features after tape-out.

I don\'t think it is the \"oopsies\" problem they are addressing. If you have an \"oopsie\" it is unlikely to be fixable with a separate piece of logic. Allowing an ASIC user to add a bit of logic to the device or even a custom coprocessor can be very useful. I seem to recall someone offering such a chip once, but I don\'t recall any details. It never made it to a general market that I know of. I suspect it was mostly sold to OEMs with high volumes. Often FPGAs are used as prototyping devices and that may have been how this was used.
