Millogic achieves milestone for sales of drop-in FPGA based obsolescence substitute devices
March 16, 2019 - Millogic sales of pin-compatible FPGA emulators of obsolete components has hit a milestone of 10,000 units. Our emulator assemblies have qualified as alternative source devices for processors and controllers that our customers have no longer been able to source. These production quantities have been installed in Medical, Defense and Industrial products, where the finished product life exceeds the commercial availability of some components. These solutions are particularly viable in industries with extensive and expensive qualification processes, such as FDA approvals or some defense industry requirements, where qualification of an alternate source for a component is much shorter than the qualification of a new design.
Millogic announces new microprocessor core development
April 10, 2017 - Millogic is developing a new addition to our microprocessor and microcontroller emulations with the addition of the MC68000, providing 68000 microprocessor emulation.

Millogic celebrates 15th anniversary
January 10, 2017 - Millogic has been providing electronic design services and solutions for obsolete or discontinued integrated circuits for 15 years. Our solutions are found in Defense, Medical and Industrial products both domestically and internationally.
Millogic was incorporated in January, 2002. However, the Millogic design team dates back to 1993, when we formed Chrysalis Research, which became Papillon Research. Millogic started its obsolescence solutions with the development of emulations and drop-in replacement devices for the discontinued Cypress VME interface family. The VME devices continued to be used in military, industrial and medical devices whose product lives were much longer than the fickle commercial markets. Many of the major defense contractors have used and continue to use Millogic parts to solve their obsolescence problems.
Millogic Expands Solutions for Discontinued IC’s for Defense, Medical and Industrial Manufacturers
The defense industry is only one area in which Millogic has been helping companies deal with discontinued integrated circuit emulatorssemiconductor devices. We have significant experience in the medical industry as well. FDA certification of medical devices is a long and expensive process. When a device becomes unavailable, it can render a full product line obsolete unless a solution is found. Millogic solutions limit the re-certification to validating a new device in the Approved Vendor List (AVL) of a component on a BOM. Millogic solutions are designed to be software compatible with the original parts, so software validation is not an issue.
We have recently been extending our product line of replacements for discontinued microcontrollers / microprocessors that are used in industrial control applications. Here again is an industry that is extremely dependent on software compatibility. Millogic goes through extensive validation of our emulations through both simulation and hardware validation to minimize potential issues; however, we also fully back our emulations with support, assisting customers in validating our emulations running in their specific products as well.
Much of our emulation product line has been driven by customer needs. If your company is having problems with obsolete or discontinued components, please contact us and we will work with you to develop a solution.
Millogic adds Half Band Digital Filter to Emulation Library
June 27, 2016 - Millogic is developing an emulation of the now discontinued Intersil HSP 43216 digital filter device. The IP will emulate the original device function, which included a quadrature up/down converter with a 67-tap halfband filter. When implemented in a Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA technology, the IP will operate at sample rates at or above the original device. The emulation will support the four operational modes of the original device, Interpolation, decimation, quadrature to real conversion, and quadrature down-conversion with decimation. The emulation will be port compatible, so an FPGA emulation could be substituted for the original part in an existing design. The original Intersil part numbers included HSP43216JC-52, HSP43216JC-52Z, HSP42316VC-52, HSP43216VC-52Z. The Millogic IP core will be named ML43216.
