You want to get your clockless designs to market quickly - and there's no quicker way than Handshake Solutions' design service. It can cut your time to market by up to 50%. So you receive a high-quality, fully optimized and qualified design fast.

Bring us your specification, and we will deliver a fully qualified design. It really is that simple. We've amassed the experience, so you don't have to. Obviously that means faster development, but it also ensures your design will be optimized to the perfect balance of performance, cost and power for your application.

But fast time to market doesn't limit your design choices. Depending on your requirements, the design can be based on our existing portfolio of Handshake Technology standard IP. Or we can create a Handshake Technology implementation of your favorite block. What's more, we will build in Design-for-Test and can also deliver synchronous prototypes for mapping onto any FPGA. In every case, the aim is the same: maximize product quality and reliability; minimize development times and risks.

What do you actually receive from our design service? Typically we supply a firm Handshake Technology design for you to harden and integrate into your system. However, our design service doesn't end with the netlist delivery. We'll continue working with you at the integration stage, so the benefits of Handshake Technology are fully transferred into your end product.

While every customer and every design is unique, the minimum design delivery always includes:

• A firm netlist comprising
  • A Handshake Technology design mapped onto the standard-cell library of your choice
  • A Design-for-Test solution based on scan testing
• Test patterns for embedded scan test or the remodel files to generate the patterns yourself
• Various scripts to support the hardening of the design via tasks such as
  • Drive-strength fixing
  • Balancing enable signals of latches and flip-flops in the datapath
  • Scan-clock distribution
  • Delay adjustment to adapt timing margins to post-layout timing parameters

Beyond offering design services, our goal is to give you the freedom and confidence to create your own clockless designs.

That’s why our design services can be delivered as part of an evaluation project. With your design team working alongside ours, you’ll have the reassurance of expert design, while your designers gain the knowledge and on-the-job experience they need to go it alone. And of course, you’ll also be taking the first steps towards creating your own portfolio of re-usable self-timed IP blocks.
