What is the development time from specification to ASIC prototypes?

ASIC design, including production silicon for cost reduction programs or miniaturization are available in 12-22 weeks. Analog ASIC prototypes can be completed in as little as 8 weeks depending on the chip design and complexity. ASICs for new product development, where the performance and specification of the ASIC is subject to modifications, takes between 26 and 32 weeks.

The actual schedule will depend on the design changes and number of prototype cycles the customer requests. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
