FORESIGHT: a fast turn-around and low cost ASIC prototyping alternative
George Lewicki · Third Annual IEEE Proceedings on ASIC Seminar and Exhibit · 2002
The FORESIGHT program holds regularly scheduled multiproject runs capable of providing ASIC designers prototype numbers of 1.2-, 1.5- and 2.0- mu m CMOS parts in turnarounds of four to five weeks at a fraction of the cost of a run dedicated to just one part. FORESIGHT's low cost and fast turnaround gives designers the opportunity of developing their own design libraries, as well as characterizing completed designs prior to production.>
