| Popis: | Great strides have been made in developing silicon processes that provide the benefits of high-level integration to power circuits. A recent example of such work at Harris Semiconductor has been the development of a power application-specific integrated circuit (PASIC) technology that allows integration on a single chip of a complete 1 MHz DC-DC converter. Despite such technological achievements, the marketplace further demands quick/low-risk design cycle times to capture opportunities before market windows close. It is also imperative to provide easy access to the technology for system-level designers, as opposed to traditional circuit designers, since they ultimately are knowledgeable and responsible for defining the function to be produced. The authors describe Harris's PASIC technology and demonstrate how computer-aided design (CAD) tools and concurrent engineering methods have been applied to achieve the above objective. > |
