But an ASIC is a handy tool to develop for plenty of embedded applications where efficiency is a key design goal.

Geneva -- September 22,2008 - Engineers at STMicroelectronic have revealed how to use domino logic, a very fast circuit design style utilized in the highest performance custom designs,in an automated ...

The change to physical synthesis, aka SP&R, aka RTL-to-GDS-II, design tools for the 0.13-micron and 90nm process nodes is pulling several other methods and tools previously reserved for the highest ...

After testing, the design is encrypted and sent to Altera's secure ITAR design center in California. There, the design is reviewed and checked for conformance with HardCopy II structured ASIC ...

“This is similar to a normal Asic flow rather than an fpga design flow,” said Siwinski. Combined with the Cadence Incisive Verification Platform, it delivers mixed TLM/RTL unified simulation and ...
