ASIC Design Benefits

 

Application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) outperform discrete and FPGA solutions by almost every measure. 

 

By tailoring each Application-Specific Integrated Circuit to a dedicated function, engineers achieve higher performance, power efficiency, and reliability than with any general-purpose approach.

As a vertically integrated company, Presto Engineering provides complete control across the ASIC design process — from feasibility validation to volume production. Our teams manage every development stage with a focus on quality, agility, and traceability, ensuring that each ASIC design meets the highest standards of performance and reliability.

 

Because validating project feasibility and accelerating time-to-market are essential, we also offer customizable silicon-proven IP platforms that simplify functional testing and accelerate ASIC design. 


Each project follows our proprietary and proven methodology — the Presto Quality Development Flow (QuDF) — where agile project management and proactive risk handling are the foundation for delivering high-quality ASIC solutions on schedule.

Beyond design, Presto ensures a smooth transition to ASIC production through its SQuP industrialization process and proprietary OCEAN platform, which provide full visibility into test, packaging, and supply chain operations.

 

This end-to-end approach enables customers to move from ASIC design to production with confidence, efficiency, and speed.

Multiple development approaches

Depending on your internal resources and objectives, Presto Engineering adapts its engagement model to fit your needs:

Customer Requirements Driven: Presto designs the ASIC based on the customer’s specifications

Co-Development Partnership: both partners develop different parts of the ASIC

Customer develops ASIC: Presto provides IP integration, design-for-test (DFT), and packaging services

Presto’s Quality Development Flow (QuDF)

 

At Presto Engineering, every ASIC design process follows our proprietary Quality Development Flow (QuDF) — a structured, stage-gated methodology that ensures predictable schedules, high design quality, and reliable silicon results.

 

Each step of the process builds on the previous one, combining technical excellence with agile project management and proactive risk control.
