Silicon Logic Engineering Announces ASIC Product Development Consulting Success

Eau Claire, WI, April 18, 2006—Silicon Logic Engineering (SLE), a high-end ASIC design firm that specializes in full-turnkey leading-edge ASIC and ASIC system designs, has also been successfully offering ASIC Product Development Consulting Services over the past year. The Product Development Consulting Services provide high-level ASIC and electronic system development guidance to companies that are developing very complex ASICs and systems, government organizations that require analysis or oversight of electronics product design projects, and investment companies and institutions that require expert knowledge of the electronics market and associated product development processes.

Targeted toward executives, engineering managers, and design team leaders at chip and electronics systems companies, SLE’s Product Development Consulting Services provide expertise and resources that help decision makers to better manage the risks associated with complex ASIC and systems designs. Unlike other product development services that are often conducted by independent consultants without ongoing product and project experience, SLE’s Product Development Consulting Services are provided by a team of highly experienced staff engineers who are actively involved in advanced ASIC and systems design projects for leading electronics companies worldwide. SLE’s Product Development Consulting Service engineers are current in today’s latest chip and systems technologies, design tools and flows. See www.siliconlogic.com/asicprod_dev.htm for an example list of the services offered.

For a recent government contract project, SLE was asked to consult on a very large 333 MHz, 90nm IBM ASIC design. The customer was having trouble meeting timing in the design, and major design changes and feature removal was discussed to create working silicon. SLE engineers reviewed the design and provided very specific advice and information to the customer. The design is now meeting timing with all the features and no major design changes. The customer credited the change in ASIC success to SLE’s ASIC product development consulting services.

“SLE is pleased by the response to our ASIC product development consulting services,” said President and Founder Jeff West, “SLE’s highly experienced team of ASIC engineers has been designing leading edge ASICs for many years and they understand what is necessary to overcome even the most complex ASIC challenges. Our team’s experience in design techniques and tools is a great value to our customers’ ASIC design teams.”
