Application Specific ICs:
Closing the Gap between Research and Industry

Workshop on Design, Production and Industrialization of ASICs

 
Presentation [K. Schenk]:
"ASIC design for industry: The role of Academia"
 
Abstract: Many companies need ASICs for their products - to reduce production cost, to reduce product size, to reduce power consumption, to reduce the risk of copying. But most of these companies do not have own know-how and/or resources for ASIC design and need assistance or services from a design house or other experts. The presentation shows from academic viewpoint how UAS-institutes can help companies to get ASIC designs for their products.
