Recently we worked with a customer that had an urgent need to get a custom analog ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) developed in a very short time. The customer needed a completely working system in the first quarter of 2015. Working backwards from their system schedule they realized that they

Clock to an SoC is like blood to a human body. Just the way blood flows to each and every part of the body and regulates metabolism, clock reaches each and every sequential device and controls the digital events inside the SoC. There are many terms which modern designers use

I think this is an appropriate first post, because this is a question that we’ve heard many times when talking with hardware engineers trying to sell our product. The fact that there are (now) about a dozen companies trying to replace RTL with alternatives (I’ll talk about HLS in other

The ultimate ASIC calculator is available live on AnySilicon’s website. Together with our Die Per Wafer calculator this ASIC price calculator provides a very accurate final price for ASICs. Please note, we did not include shipping cost therefore you may want to add this to the total prices.
As always,
Die Per Wafer (DPW) online calculator is free and available live on AnySilicon website. The die per wafer calculator is simple to use and very accurate, however the results are estimates.
Now when you have the number of dies per wafer, you may want to consider:

Last week’s post was addressed primarily to those of you who are already designing SoCs. We made the point that more and more SoCs have multiple processors, either homogenous or heterogeneous, and that most or all of those processors do or will have caches. This led to the main conclusions of the
