Objective
- Increase the know-how necessary to design mixed analogue-digital ICs at low cost and fast turnaround through the use of mixed-mode arrays and standard cell methodologies.
- Acquire a full control of the design process, from system to chip, and from high-level specificationto low-level physical design.
- Take advantage of the advance availability of full-featured, low-cost, physical IC design automation tools from EDA Solutions and Snake Technologies: GATESNAKE and CELLSNAKE.
- Develop and evaluate a new analogue-digital IC design flow on PC, including tools well known on the market, and newer tools from EDA/Snake.
- Develop two mixed analogue-digital ICs to be integrated in the next generation of Prinsys products: one is a RF emitter in the range 125 kHz to 6 MHz, and the second is an AM demodulator coupled with a manchester-type decoder.
- Evaluate typical user expectations for IC physical design tools, and tune functionality and features accordingly. Set up a support and maintenance procedure.
Electronic systems for contactless identification use radio-frequency (RF) and infra-red (IR) transmission techniques to exchange information between a fixed, controlling device and a mobile, controlled device (typically an identification badge). These systems dramatically benefit from integration on a single chip, for economical, reliability and confidentiality reasons. In order to limit costs for medium-volume production, a mixture of full-custom and mixed-mode semi-custom solutions have been selected. Thanks to the availability of new, low-cost, physical design tools for gate arrays and standard cells provided by Snake Technologies (formerly EDA Solutions): GATESNAKE and CELLSNAKE, Prinsys is able to control the whole design flow of the ICs of its systems.
