Abstract
Presents an example of the integration of an industrial circuit. The design of an ASIC is different from a design for a PCB. The different choice of components on one hand, and reliability and testability on the other, demand special considerations to be taken into account when a PCB circuit is transformed into an ASIC. Several of these will be discussed. A semi-custom circuit is presented which controls a switch in the high voltage networks of a power system. SOLO 1200 design tools and ES2 technology are used. The circuit is designed for GEPCE in Bilbao, Spain. The design is based on a patented PCB circuit. Some major changes are necessary to facilitate the integration. The circuit is made completely synchronous. Scan-paths are introduced to obtain a good testability.<>
