Design Specification. The design specification is the most important step in the design flow as it details anything that needs to be considered or strict requirements that need to be met when ...

As we all know, the back-end design of layout implementation known as integrated circuit (IC) layout — is simplistically divided into ASIC-style flow and full-custom flow. This article will try to ...

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 — ...

Deftly optimizing ASIC critical paths, this tool rides atop existing cell-based flows to improve timing while leaving physical design largely undisturbed. Deftly optimizing ASIC critical paths ...

1. In a big company, doing ASIC design verification for a WCDMA modem for 3G cellular chips. 2. Small company, doing Embedded Software Programming. Working on the design and implementation of ...

The specific Structured ASIC device and the vendor-specific design methodology are interwoven. Figure 3 shows a typical design flow for the LSI Rapid Chip product.

Designing your own integrated circuits as a one-person operation from your home workshop sounds like science fiction. But 20 years ago, so did rolling your own circuit boards to host a 600 MHz micr… ...

Proven AI and HPC ASIC Design Flow Production-ready 3DIC cross-section Alchip’s newly available 3DIC design flow addresses power integration challenges, including static and dynamic IR drop ...

The FICS Research Institute (University of Florida) has published a new research paper titled “Secure Physical Design.” This is the first and most comprehensive research work done in this area that ...

The goal of most ASIC design teams is to minimize risk, both to the chip design project and to the system integration. Structured ASIC devices offer complex ASIC technology with 75%, or less, the ...
