Western Design Center (WDC) first developed a CMOS version, which is still in production as of 2019. In addition, several implementations (commercial as well as free) are available to synthesize the core into FPGA designs. | Western Design Center (WDC) first developed a CMOS version, which is still in production as of 2019.
