Speed loT product development and reduce risk with outsourced operations

摘要

ASICs offer superior value and performance, especially for loT products. The availability of less expensive fab capacity on mature process technologies has significantly reduced their cost. It is now possible to design and build an ASIC for about $5 million dollars, which increases the applications space in which they provide an economically attractive solution. Outsourcing operations to produce ASICs manage the risks associated with the complex semiconductor manufacturing process, reducing costs, increasing value, and minimizing risk. Security and secure provisioning must be essential considerations in defining any outsourced operations solution.
