Hi,
I need to convert my fpga based designs to make an asic.I am entering intothis area first time so i wanted to know the design issues, tools, vendorswho provide this service and cost aspects for this process.
If you can help me in this regard then I will be really thankful.
Thanks in advance,
Shruti

Hi Shruti,

I work for a design services company who does a lot of this type of
work. Feel free to drop me an e-mail. Briefly:

Main design issues will be replacing FPGA primitives & IP with ASIC
equivalents (if any), then optimising for power (if necessary) and DFT
additions & modifications.
The main providers of ASIC tools are Cadence, Synopsys, Magma and
Mentor. These are very expensive.
Costs will vary widely depending upon the complexity of your design,
the target process and volume, so I'd need a few more details of your
design to give you a reasonable answer.

Cheers,
Jon
