The October prototype tape-ou= +t will not be cost-effective for that. It is a multi-project wafer.

An extra engineeri= +ng lot of 12 wafers will be around $18000. +For this it means you will need to a new tape-out so you can add extra peri= +pherals that were not on the prototype tape-out. + +greets, +Staf. + + +--=-q7g7wYzd/YlocVdASqQr-- + + + +--===============1441781585780467197== +Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" +MIME-Version: 1.0 +Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 +Content-Disposition: inline + +X19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX19fX18KbGlicmUtcmlz +Y3YtZGV2IG1haWxpbmcgbGlzdApsaWJyZS1yaXNjdi1kZXZAbGlzdHMubGlicmUtcmlzY3Yub3Jn +Cmh0dHA6Ly9saXN0cy5saWJyZS1yaXNjdi5vcmcvbWFpbG1hbi9saXN0aW5mby9saWJyZS1yaXNj +di1kZXYK + +--===============1441781585780467197==-- + + +
