EEPROM / FLASH IP BLOCK SURVEY

Thank you to all of you who already completed our EEPROM / Flash IP Block Survey! Sent out on November 29th to more than 1700 registered ASIC Server users, we asked you to give us feedback on your EEPROM and Flash IP block requirements. You all gave us valuable feedback and suggestions in order to further expand our IP block portfolio. We appreciate the constructive inputs as well as positive comments.

The survey is still online and may be completed here!

The detailed results of this survey will be released on our web server soon.
