Our Company name, Tabula, is derived from the Latin Tabula Rasa, which means “blank slate”. We have chosen the name “Tabula” because our devices are, in effect, “blank slates” for turning ideas into production silicon. We have taken a fresh, “blank slate” approach in creating the next stage of custom logic design. Tabula is a privately held, fabless semiconductor company developing 3PLDs based on Tabula’s patented Spacetime architecture. Read more...

Spacetime is a groundbreaking programmable logic architecture that uses time as a third dimension to deliver unmatched capability and affordability. Tabula achieves this breakthrough by combining the Spacetime hardware that dynamically reconfigures logic, memory, and interconnect at multi-GHz rates with the Spacetime compiler that manages this ultra-rapid reconfiguration transparently.

SEMICO Research Corporation
"For decades, the Holy Grail for electronic system manufacturers has been a logic platform that combines programmability and flexibility with large capacity and cost effectiveness. Semico believes that the unique approach to how Tabula accomplishes this is truly innovative and is something the entire semiconductor industry should take note of."
By Richard Wawrzyniak

Raymond James
"PLD Industry Perspective – New and Intriguing Player Entering the Ring. What makes Tabula a company to watch is that in addition to being founded by electronic design automation (EDA) guru Steve Teig, most of the executive team are former elite Xilinx employees including the highly-regarded CEO Dennis Segers. Mr.Seger's team is not to be underestimated."
By Hans Mosesmann, Andrew Banish

InStat By Tom Halfhill
"Tabula's Spacetime technology is a real innovation, not just hype. By rapidly reconfiguring their programmable-logic fabric up to 1.6 billion times per second Tabula's chips can use the same logic gates/wires over & over again for different purposes. To developers, the fabric looks much larger than reality, without paying for additional silicon and power. The biggest innovation is Tabula's development tools hide the reconfiguration from users."

GARTNER
"Tabula has taken dynamically reconfigured logic to the next level. High-density FPGAs at a much lower cost position Tabula in mainstream high-complexity communication applications as well as open up new markets where traditional high-density FPGAs were not cost effective."
By Bryan Lewis

Tabula's Spacetime architecture uses time as a third dimension to bring the density and performance of 3-D to programmable logic while maintaining a familiar design flow.

The ABAX™ family of 3-D Programmable Logic Devices represents a new category of general-purpose chips. Manufactured using TSMC's 40nm process, ABAX combines the flexibility and rapid time-to- market of an FPGA with ASIC capacity, at price points suitable for volume production.

Tabula is proud to announce its groundbreaking product ABAX has been awarded the best product of the year in the category of "Programmable Logic" by ElectroniqueS magazine. The recipients of the Electron d’Or awards are chosen by a jury of industry experts.

Communications Infrastructure Equipment: The communications industry is expected to undergo tremendous change in the very near future. The ABAX product family is a cost effective way to design next generation communications infrastructure equipment.
