Faraday Leads ASIC Industry with Supporting Major Projector Technologies

Faraday Technology Corporation (TWSE: 3035), a leading ASIC design service and IP provider, today unveiled the success of projector ASICs, covering high-end 4K/8K projector, head-up display (HUD), AR, and 3D sensing pico-projector applications for top-tier projector manufacturers in Japan, USA, and Taiwan. By leveraging its design methodology and IP customization

ASIC Design Low Power Techniques – Reducing Switching

In one of the previous posts we discussed a cool technique to reduce leakage current. This time we will look at dynamic power consumption due to switching and some common techniques to reduce it.
 
Usually, with just a little bit of thinking, reduction of switching activity is quite possible. Let’s look

The Real Benefit of using an ASIC in Your Next Project

An Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) is an integrated circuit (IC) which is designed and customized for a particular use rather than being used for general-purpose applications. An example for ASIC is a chip that is designed to run a high-efficiency Bitcoin miner, or a chip designed specifically for BMW’s brake

To Understand Analog ASICs, First Weed Out the Pretenders

A recent on-line Blog by John Dunn (analog guru and prolific blogger) titled “The Weed-eater Circuit” got me thinking. Basically, John shared a simple 2 transistor schematic (Figure 1 shown below) that he has used as a test when he needed a way to see just how competent someone was
