DIGITAL DESIGN

Experience in digital design :

• RFID - low power, including integrated passive uC
• telecommunication - SDH, PCM, DTMF, ISDN
• cryptography - DES and other algorithms
• industry application - collective remote control, heat consumption measuring
• DSP - audio application, filters
• processors - micros, communication circuits

Example of digital project

Design and realization flow

Finished design is evaluated in programmable circuits in the majority of digital projects. This can be also final solution in the case of smaller series. At larger series according to technical parameters and production quantity a convenient production technology is choosen.

Design process, evaluation and following production of digital circuits step by step in ASICentrum :

1. DESIGN SPECIFICATION

• customer's development assignment
• creation of the circuit specification

2. SYSTEM DESIGN

• choice of design architecture
• definition of blocks and their function, IP cores choice

3. LOGICAL DESIGN

• RTL design - VHDL, graphical entry (HDL Designer Series)
• P&R (Silicon Ensemble)
• verification (Modelsim)

4. DFT DESIGN

• design methodology choice for DFT
• automatic test pattern generation

5. PROTOTYPING - FPGAs & CPLDs

• synthesis (Leonardo Spectrum)
• implementation - placement and routing (XILINX)
• evaluation of samples (measuring and testing)
• prototyping series programming

6. PRODUCTION

• measuring and testing of samples after conversion
• mass production
