During 2018, Menta looked quiet if you consider communication as the main indicator of activity. In fact, the eFPGA vendor was hyper-active in developing future business and reports two main design-win. The first is with the European Processor Initiative (EPI) and Menta has announced in December 2018 that it has been selected as the sole provider of embedded FPGA IP for this European project.

This is significant for Menta in driving programmability in a large share of new high-performance computing and automotive applications. Members of the consortium include Atos, BMW, CEA, Infineon and ST Microelectronics.

The second design win officially announced by Menta a few days ago is with a Telecom company in China, as “eFPGA IP from Menta Selected by Beijing Chongxin Communication Company to Enable Programmability in 4G/5G Wireless Baseband SoC”. It’s important to show that eFPGA IP is now considered as mature enough to be integrated into a wireless SoC addressing the very competitive 4G/5G market.
