I’m going to assume that low cost is not the main value proposition of your product: I’ll assume that it addresses an existing or emerging market in a way that could be summarised as “better”. But it will have a manufacturing cost associated with it, which will be determined by

Clock tree synthesis (CTS) plays an important role in building well-balanced clock tree, fixing timing violations and reducing the extra unnecessary pessimism in the design. The goal during building a clock tree is to reduce the skew, maintain symmetrical clock tree structure and to cover all the registers in the

eASIC® Corporation (@easic), a fabless semiconductor company that delivers custom integrated circuit platform solutions (eASIC Platform), today announced that it has appointed Si-Edge Technology (Si-Edge) as an advanced design center located in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China.
The eASIC Platform has been deployed in a wide range of applications spanning wired
As this happens, designers are debating how they can approach designs in such a way that they’re not relying on packing yet-more transistors onto a chip to achieve speed increases. One of the biggest innovations in this industry is going to come from a fundamental reapplication of a technology that
