Open-Silicon Streamlines ASIC Quotation Process

MILPITAS, CA--(Marketwired - April 15, 2015) - The rapidly changing eco-system for ASICs is driving the designers to use the internet to help expedite feasibility options before even having a conversation with a supplier.

In an effort to facilitate and improve the turnaround time for ASIC quotations, Open-Silicon has designed a web portal. This environment provides the customer with an intuitive web interface to submit real system requirements including the choices in IP, packaging, manufacturing process, system voltage and power limitations. Customers will then receive a quotation within 48 hours.

"Open Silicon has used open business model since its inception because it meets our customer's needs to get their products defined in a collaborative mode," said Taher Madraswala, President of Open-Silicon. "This initiative further exemplifies our mission to make the business process more transparent to our customers."

The web-portal will provide the customers with 24 / 7 access to the real time pricing model and enable them to get budgetary pricing very early in the development cycle.

In addition, this easy-to-use portal will capture the essential components ensuring the accuracy of information and help the customers weigh real-time trade-offs on the key inputs to help finalize the RFQ requirements.

"Incorporating a web-portal in addition to our traditional sales channel will enable us to serve a larger customer base more effectively," said Dave Krishna, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
