Front End ASIC Development:
ASIC to FPGA Conversion Planning
− Decide on all the IP blocks required for FPGA conversion – such as BRAMs, Serdes and other cores based on the FPGA RTL design
− Select package and technology for optimal costs (NRE and UNIT) and performance
RTL Development
− Modify the FPGA RTL based on the target technology library and IP
RTL Verification
− Set up verification environment and code test cases to verify RTL
− Run code coverage and add cases till golden RTL
ASIC Implementation
− Pin out design, Synthesis constraints, power constraints and synthesis to target technology and library
− DFT Design, test logic insertion & ATPG
Timing and Power
− Timing and power constraint development , and timing and power simulation over supply voltages and process corners based on estimated parasitics
− Review and Release net list for back end ASIC implementation
Back End and Tape Out
− Whizz Silicon will work with back end customer chosen design services vendor or its partners to tape out the devices to target foundry
