Abstract
The FORESIGHT program holds regularly scheduled multiproject runs capable of providing ASIC designers prototype numbers of 1.2-, 1.5- and 2.0-μm CMOS parts in turnarounds of four to five weeks at a fraction of the cost of a run dedicated to just one part. FORESIGHT´s low cost and fast turnaround gives designers the opportunity of developing their own design libraries, as well as characterizing completed designs prior to production
