The problem for Infrant Technologies, a young network storage IC company, was to figure out how to avoid the typical iterative design scenario. For our latest design, a 250-MHz network storage device ...

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Synopsys Inc. is making a complete, front-end ASIC design flow available under Linux. The company this week will announce the availability of Design Compiler and other popular ...

The question of what must happen at the RTL stage of the ASIC design process is much clearer. More physical information must be accounted for in the front end of the cycle.

Greater cohesiveness between front- and back-end design domains is critical to the productive development of advanced ICs in this very deep-submicron era.

The front end team creates a top level design to meet the specification, separated into data path and control logic. The data path is the movement of data around the system, whereas the control logic ...

The paper details the design of a mixed-signal ASIC for the front-end electronics of ionisation chambers. A single chip solution for ultra-low current measurement is designed by combining the current ...

“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 ...

DRA Global (“DRA”) has been awarded the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract by Hasting Technology Metals Limited (“Hastings”), for the Yangibana Rare Earths Project in Western ...

The customer defined the board solution and chip implementation concept, requirements, and executed front-end design based on library characterization for near-threshold voltage operation. Avnet ASIC ...

For our latest design, a 250-MHz network storage device with 3 million gates containing 40 macros in both Verilog and VHDL, we needed a front-end design that would enable us to produce high-quality ...
