Arrays – The perfect decision for prototypes and small quantities

The clear advantage of ICs on array basis is the fast and economic implementation. Prefabricated wafers, already finished up to the metal layer will be used, only requiring a few additional masks to complete the ASIC. Arrays are often used in batch production, e.g. in aviation and aerospace industry or research & development.

Arrays combine utmost design flexibility and low development costs, which is a major advantage – specially for smaller or middle size production - compared to standard cells or full custom designs.


Selection of array datasheets (pdf-files):

H3F-Array
(170 kByte)
H3A-Array (126 kByte)
H3T-Array (95kByte)
K4R-Array (83 kByte)


Different C3 arrays are on stock and allow a fast production of prototype or serial parts. These arrays also allow to manufacture small quantities at low cost.
