ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) Design

ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) is a type of integrated circuit customized for a particular use or application—unlike general-purpose chips like CPUs or reprogrammable devices like FPGAs. Key advantages of ASIC: • Optimized performance for the specific task • Lower power consumption • Reduced unit cost for mass production • Enhanced security and reliability

AuraChips specializes in full custom and semi-custom ASIC design services, transforming customer specifications into optimized RTL and guiding the entire design flow—logic design, simulation, synthesis, verification, and layout—until GDSII tape-out for fabrication.

 

We ensure performance, power, and area (PPA) optimization, while strictly following industry standards such as DFT, STA, and low-power design methodologies. Our team has extensive experience across consumer, industrial, medical, and automotive applications.

 

The standard ASIC design process includes:

  1. Specification definition
  2. Logic architecture design
  3. RTL coding (Verilog/VHDL)
  4. Synthesis and functional simulation
  5. Netlist and GDSII layout generation
  6. Fabrication

 

💡 AuraChips excels in ASIC design, transforming client requirements into high-quality RTL code and managing the entire ASIC design flow—from synthesis and netlist generation to GDSII layout ready for chip manufacturing.

 

AuraChips applies a flexible business model for ASIC design projects. Each project begins with detailed discussions to clearly define the technical requirements and financial expectations.

 

Following this, a feasibility study is conducted to:

  • Develop a technically and economically viable solution
  • Provide a detailed quotation including engineering resources and material costs
  • Outline a development timeline
  • Conduct a risk analysis and propose mitigation plans
  • Most importantly, define a business model that best fits the customer’s needs — whether they are a startup, a large enterprise, or a long-term development partner.

 

 

AuraChips outlines a standard workflow for each ASIC design project, starting with consultation with the client, followed by a feasibility study, proposing technical and economic solutions, providing a quotation, developing a project plan, conducting risk assessments, and recommending a suitable business model.

 

Additionally, we offer support for converting ASIC designs to FPGAs for testing and early development phases.
