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 ...

System-on-programmable-chip technology has characteristics of both board-based design and ASIC-based system-on-a-chip ASIC design. The immediate attraction of SoPC is that, like a breadboard, the ...

True or false: ASIC design follows a very straightforward path that begins with high-level architectural definition. It proceeds through RTL design and preliminary floorplanning. After synthesis, the ...

As more designs hit the reticle limit, or suffer from decreasing yield, migrating to 2.5D designs may provide a path forward. But this kind of advanced packaging also comes with some additional ...
