According to the official Flex Logix website, Flex Logix has sold its technology assets to a large public company, which has also hired our technical team. We work with our customers to ensure they are well taken care of. If you are a customer who needs to contact the acquiring company, you can send them the following email.

According to EETIMES, the unnamed buyer is ADI.

“With the acquisition of Flex Logix, ADI can significantly enhance our digital product portfolio, further enabling us to help our customers solve their most challenging problems,” an ADI spokesperson told EE Times. The company declined to disclose the terms of the deal or any further details.

“I’m excited to welcome the talented team at Flex Logix to ADI!” said Gregory Bryant, executive vice president and business unit president at ADI, in a LinkedIn post. “This team is a leader in [eFPGA] technology and they are here with us as we continue to lead the way in the intelligent edge. Flex Logix’s eFPGA technology, which seamlessly integrates FPGA fabric into SoCs and ASICs, is one of the key building blocks that enables us to build differentiated platforms and help solve our customers’ biggest challenges.”

Flex Logix, who is it?

According to reports, Flex Logix is a reconfigurable computing company that provides leading eFPGA, DSP/SDR and AI reasoning solutions for semiconductor and system companies. Flex Logix eFPGA enables batch FPGA users to integrate FPGA into their supporting SoC, thereby reducing the cost and power consumption of FPGA by 5-10 times and increasing computing density, which is critical for communications, networks, data centers, microcontrollers, etc. Its scalable DSP/SDR/AI has the highest efficiency and can provide higher reasoning throughput per square millimeter and per watt. Flex Logix supports process nodes from 180nm to 7nm, and 5nm, 3nm and 18A are under development.

In June this year, the company held a grand celebration to celebrate its 10th anniversary. According to reports, since its establishment in 2014, Flex Logix has been providing reconfigurable hardware solutions to accelerate algorithms and extend the product life of many devices.

Over the past decade, Flex Logix has grown from a humble startup to the leading provider of embedded FPGA IP with the most customers and the most nodes supported. Through unremitting dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence, the company has successfully filed more than 100 patents and applications, achieving the best performance, power and area in the industry. Flex Logix works closely with the world's leading foundries to port its IP to a variety of popular process nodes from 180nm to 5nm, with 18A development ongoing - demonstrating the company's commitment to technology innovation.

Flex Logix, a customer-focused company, is pleased to announce the release of EFLX version 3.0 and the upcoming eXpreso compiler tool. These new products set new industry standards for performance and efficiency to support on-chip reconfigurability requirements of over 1 million LUTs. Flex Logix continues to innovate with its signal processing IP, InferX. InferX delivers incredible performance, reaching tens of TeraMACs per second, and is optimized to accelerate customer applications including FFT, FIR, IIR, beamforming, matrix/vector operations, matrix inversion, Kalman functions, and more. “This IP sets a new standard for performance per watt per area,” said Cheng Wang, CTO. “InferX’s architecture has been engineered to work with the EFLX eFPGA IP to enable today’s high-performance signal processing solutions.”

With more than 25 global customers and over 40 design wins, Flex Logix IP has been applied in a wide range of fields including interface expansion, software acceleration, security, encryption, finance, and packet and signal processing. “Flex Logix is extremely grateful to our loyal customers, dedicated employees, and supporting partners who have been integral to our success,” said Geoff Tate, CEO. “This anniversary is a testament to the vision and years of hard work of our employees, and we are very excited about the potential for the future.”
