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 ...

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), ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A systematic approach to program design developed in the mid-1970s by Constantine, Yourdon, et al, that included the use of graphical notation for effective documentation and communication, design ...
