| Synova Background: Synova Inc. is a fabless semiconductor company founded Melbourne, FL in 1993 with a business focus on System-On-A-Chip designs. The design engineers average more than 20 years of Digital ASIC design experience. |
| Design Services: We provide services addressing all aspect of ASIC / FPGA development from system specification development through delivery of tested chips. Synova’s design engineers can provide turnkey solutions or perform sub-function designs depending on the customer’s needs. Our ASIC designs have had first-pass success with complex designs. |
Concept:
* Develop specifications if not already available
* Select foundry to meet the specification requirements
Design and Validation:
* Design the core in RTL using Verilog or VHDL
* Develop test bench
* Verify Static Timing Analysis
* Design for Test and generate test vector suite
* Perform functional verification with test vector code coverage
* Perform Fault simulation
Layout and Post Layout Testing:
* Layout chip at the foundry
* Interface with ASIC foundry for release of the design
* Verify timing against back annotated placement
* Modify design and relayout to meet timing requirements as necessary
Production:
* Prototype validation
* Provide delivered chips
