Here are some cases in which Gate Arrays were used for stable mass production.
| Case 1 : Pin compatibility with FPGA at a Lower cost |
| Case 2 : An Inexpensive Option for Large Circuits with low memory usage |
| Case 3 : An Affordable Replacement for Commodity FPGAs |
Gate arrays can offer pin compatibility with FPGAs.
With minimal conversion risk and lower cost of the gate array, the set can become much more competitive.
For circuits with 200K to 500K gates and 200 to 300 pins that do not use much memory, Gate Arrays can provide an inexpensive alternative.
Commodity FPGA chips tend to be large, and proportionally costly. In this example, production cost was reduced by replacing an FPGA with a Gate Arrays.
