We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "LSI design",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release CMOS ASIC process creates DVB-H IC from
Toshiba Electronics Europe, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Enter E1 SoC IC is a fundamental element of Sidsa's mobile TV reference designs".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release RISC core covers full range of ASIC technologies from
Toshiba Electronics Europe: "ARM Cortex-M3 core can be used in high-performance, low power consumption, minimum pin count ASICs, ASSPs and other system on chip solutions".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Toshiba Electronics Europe
concerning its DSS9101U SoC
- take a look at Process technology aids powerline communications
which says: "The DSS9101U SoC brings new levels of powerline performance to multimedia applications including home media networks, in-building LANs and low and medium voltage powerline access networks".
Take a look also at the news release from Denali Software, Memory PHY reduces LSI design risks,
as well as Synopsys primeyield LCC links to IC compiler from Synopsys,
and Advisory board to provide strategic guidance from Nanno Solutions.
