Digital ASIC & FPGA Design, FHNW School of Engineering and Environment

Digital microelectronics encompasses all steps leading to FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) or digital ASIC implementation. This includes:

• Design and evaluation of algorithms and architectures

• ASIC / FPGA design using VHDL (Verilog)

• Functional verification with VHDL testbenches, including PSL (Property Specification Language) and SystemVerilog

• Integration of processors, using both hard and soft macros

• Development and integration of digital signal processing

• Utilization of high-speed interface structures of modern FPGA families

• Design of test structures and test patterns (ATPG – Automatic Test Pattern Generation) for ASICs

In addition, we have the competence to develop microelectronics according to the highest standards of functional safety.
