Is FPGA a simpler puzzle for ASIC designers?

- BY MICHAEL SANTARINI • SENIOR EDITOR
WITH RISING MASK COSTS, COMPLEXITY, AND TOOL EXPENSES TO DEVELOP ASICs AND SoCs, MANY DESIGN GROUPS TODAY ARE OPTING TO IMPLEMENT THEIR PRODUCTION DESIGNS IN FPGAs. BUT, BEFORE DESIGNERS MAKE THE LEAP, THERE ARE SEVERAL FACTORS— GOOD AND BAD—THEY SHOULD CONSIDER.

Estimating power demand in mixed-signal ICs

- BY ERIC HABER • WOLFSON MICROELECTRONICS
NO PORTABLE PRODUCT IS LIKELY TO MAKE A MARKET IMPACT IF ITS BATTERY LIFE DISAPPOINTS BUT, EARLY IN THE DESIGN CYCLE, TRANSLATING SPECIFICATION-SHEET FIGURES INTO REALISTIC MILLIAMPERE AND MILLIWATT NUMBERS IS NOT STRAIGHTFORWARD.
