Structured ASICs are a new breed of custom device that approach the performance of today's Standard Cell ASIC while dramatically simplifying the design complexity. Structured ASICs offer designers a set of devices with specific, customizable metal layers along with predefined metal layers, which can contain the underlying pattern of logic cells, memory, and I/O. By virtue of the predefined structures, the ASIC vendor can design any time-consuming task — such as test, signal integrity and IR drop — into the architecture. This corner will bring to your attention the latest News, latest products, latest initiative in this field.
