RGBW Controller ASIC Part 3 – Design for silicon, colour space conversion algorithm and final block diagram

So far, I’ve documented the original FPGA-based project and the framework used to turn it into an actual Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), along with its functional description in Part 1. In Part 2, I covered a few key design considerations I learnt as a beginner when transitioning from FPGA to ASIC, specifically related to … Continue reading RGBW Controller ASIC Part 3 – Design for silicon, colour space conversion algorithm and final block diagram

RGBW Controller ASIC, Part 2 – Design for silicon, clock and reset considerations

In the previous article, I shared the initial steps toward creating an amateurial ASIC design. I had a concept for a colour generator, which I first prototyped directly on an FPGA. I also introduced some of the platforms and companies that make ASIC fabrication more accessible by allowing multiple users to share a single production … Continue reading RGBW Controller ASIC, Part 2 – Design for silicon, clock and reset considerations
