Complex System-on-Chip (SoC) designs are fast becoming commonplace in today’s applications. Hardware designers must overcome many complex and challenging issues regarding cost, time-to-market (TTM), ...
The past few years have seen substantial shifts in how logic content is delivered into electronic systems. The most dramatic of these changes is the sharp reduction of traditional ASIC design starts — ...
Given the increasing nonrecurring engineering charges and long design schedules associated with deep-submicron standard-cell ASICs, the use of structured ASICs for custom IC design is an increasingly ...
Design readiness enables companies to respond quickly to design needs, but how can its true cost be determined? And which solutions – Full Custom ASIC, FPGA, or Structured ASIC – are optimal for a ...
Shrinking feature dimensions used in chipmanufacturing processes continue to push the complexity and density of the circuits to groundbreaking levels. But getting there comes with a heftier price tag ...
When all is said and done, the structured ASIC’s shorter development cycle may well be the deciding factor for your design team. With the emergence of 90-nm process technology, ASIC designers get to ...
In our world based on electronics, the design of analog/mixed-signal (AMS) ICs is still mainly done manually. While digital design benefits from complete synthesis flows, analog lags far behind in ...
