MindCrea Ltd

M2000 is a pioneer in Embedded FPGA technology and has delivered many complex cores that are currently in production. Our latest eFPGA core, implemented in 90nm CMOS process, includes 100,000 4 input Luts and is in production.

M2000 is now developing its own standard products based on this advanced architecture that will revolutionize the programmable logic market. The company is currently in stealth mode. However, we are already engaging with select customers who are interested in evaluating our technology. Please fill the information request form if you wish to get a preview of what is coming. A Non Disclosure Agreement will be required for detailed product and schedule information.

Elliptic Semiconductor offers complete network and security Virtual Components and a series of cryptographic building blocks. The TCP/IP Off-load Engines offer efficient, low power protocol processors, which offer a clean data stream to the applications processor with a simple socket connection, and thanks to the compact size and low power are well suited for wireless applications.

Elliptic Semiconductor is providing webinars in the technology, starting February the 13th, 2008. Please register here.

Consider if all the inventions in mathematics would have been owned by the inventor and released to the use of the others only by a sale of patent rights. Although the laws of ownership began to develop about 2200 B.C., “lawyers” of that time were focusing their thoughts to ownership of concrete things or livestock, or matters between people. Had their interest been in protecting the ownership of mathematical innovations, maybe no flying today not to speak about computers...

The right for ownership was the first time defined in Hammurabi’s Code of Laws, to be accurate in §9 thereof. Hammurabi, a king of Babylonia, living between 1800 and 1750 B.C., issued his code to enable the growth of wealth of people in his empire. It still took more than 3200 years since the Code of Hammurabi, before the first patent was granted.

(The statue of Hammurabi is in the Louvre Museum, Paris.)
