Arm Seminar: Upgrade to a Custom ASIC

Overview

Developing a custom ASIC offers many compelling advantages.  For some it is adding smarts to make a device more compelling; for others, it's integrating a CPU and discretes onto a chip to reduce bill-of-material cost, footprint, and improve performance or protect IP. The custom ASIC process has become a much less costly and risky proposition over the last two decades with "easy access" and "cost-effective" tools, services and IP.

This webinar will focus on the practical considerations of getting a custom ASIC built, particularly for low to medium volume products. We will explore the choices available when selecting:

  • Process node and typical costs
  • Foundry 
  • Multi-Project Wafers (MPW), Multi-Layer Masks (MLM) or Full Masks
  • Design services providers
  • Assembly and test offerings
  • Complete ASIC supply chain management

Find out how to affordably and reliably bring a custom ASIC to market, and start reaping the power, performance, and cost benefits.

Arm, imec.IC-link and Mentor are world leaders in the ASIC ecosystem and have joined forces to help designers, engineering directors/managers, and product managers understand the latest options to deliver a product based on a custom ASIC.
