LONDON — Viciciv Technologies Inc. is a startup company that appears to be preparing to enter the FPGA or programmable ASIC market, using patented stacked SRAM cell technology.

The company has been assigned a patent that appears to cover the construction of an SRAM inverter pair stacked vertically or with the SRAM laid out in single plane stacked on top of logic transistors.

At its website Viciciv (Sunnyvale, Calif.) claimed its goal is to create a “new paradigm for ASIC and ASSP design” It also claimed to have an innovative technology to simplify system design with time to market, ease of use, low cost and high performance ASICs. However, no details are provided at the website.
