The two conventional digital IC implementation technologies – ASICs and FPGAs – have recently been augmented by an emerging technology known as structured ASICs (SAs). These devices offer ...

Given the increasing nonrecurring engineering charges and long design schedules associated with deep-submicron standard-cell ASICs, the use of structured ASICs for custom IC design is an increasingly ...

Magma Blast Create SA, Blast Fusion SA and ChipX CX6000 Structured ASIC combine to reduce cost and cycle time of high-performance designs SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 9, 2005 - ChipX, the structured ASIC ...

Moving away from designing for 3D printing that emulates traditional uses of conventional materials, a London-based design group called Softkill Design is experimenting with structures using ...

The first case everyone cites in claiming the demise of Structured ASICs is LSI Logic, which unceremoniously shut down its RapidChip operation as part of a massive refocusing effort earlier this year.

So what’s a STRUCTURED ASIC? A Structured ASIC is a type of integrated circuit that contains blocks of logic, called "tiles." These tiles reside in the die ready to be connected in a customizable ...

The end goal of database design is to be able to transform a logical data model into an actual physical database. A logical data model is required before you can even begin to design a physical ...
