ASIC is a Four Letter Word, Napalm Bats, and The GertBoard

by Amelia Dalton

Fish Fry is treading on scary ground this week. Guard your children, hold your RTL close and your soldering gun even closer. We’re talking ASIC design costs. I know many of you are cowering in fear at the slight mention of custom chip NRE costs, but my guest is Reid Wender (Triad Semiconductor) and we’re chatting about how you can relinquish your mixed-signal ASIC design cost fears once and for all. Think of it as an NRE exorcism, sorta.  

Also this week, we’re checking out a special long lost World War II battle battalion and giving away a GertBoard courtesy of newark element14.
