In the definition phase, we clearly define project goals and requirements. This helps create a strong foundation for the ASIC design.

Key deliverables include:

• Detailed requirement specification

• Risk and KPI dashboard for project tracking

• Early ASIC design estimation

• Full development plan covering milestones and dependencies

The architectural design phase defines the ASIC’s high-level structure and its functional blocks.

Deliverables include:

• Verification plan to validate design intent

• Project schedule aligned with resource allocation

• Functional specification for logic and interface definition

This stage transforms the architecture into a verified, implementable design.

Activities include:

• Design validation plan

• Verification report ensuring RTL-to-gate consistency

• Production test specification to prepare for manufacturing

In the layout phase, the team converts the logical design into a physical implementation ready for fabrication.

Deliverables: Layout verification report to confirm geometry, timing, and power integrity

Once validation is complete, the team finalizes the design for manufacturing.

Steps include:

• Mask approval and release to fabrication

• Coordination with Presto’s supply chain partners for wafer production

The prototype validation stage confirms silicon functionality and production readiness.

Key activities:

• Design validation report

• Test development checklist and ramp-up sign-off ensuring smooth transition to volume production
