Today, many engineers find themselves involved in the development of mixed-signal products. While there may be a large section of digital logic in the design, the edges of the system tend to be very ...

ASIC design starts have plummeted in recent years, and there are many good reasons why. Designs at ultra-deep-submicron process nodes are awfully expensive and getting more so daily as mask costs rise ...

A full set of Open-Source tools is available to enable digital, analog, and mixed-signal ASIC design from schematic capture through tapeout. Tools installation is simply a matter of installing a VM ...

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 ...

Verification and design engineers like to talk shop and discuss their experiences and visions. But even though engineers sharing stories around the water cooler (whatever form that takes—conferences, ...
