Ned Bingham (PhD)
For the last 6 months, I've been heads-down working on an open-source EDA toolset for asynchronous circuits, tackling so many challenges that have kept asynchronous circuits from commercialization. The project is still rough around the edges with visible debugging statements and bugs, but there are already a lot of great features to support the open source hardware development community including full automation of:
1. custom cell layout in Skywater 130nm
2. device-level sizing
3. behavioral and device level simulation
4. complex state machine synthesis
5. non-hierarchical layout vs schematic
6. non-parasitic extraction
and more, all fully integrated into a unified experience. I'll have an alpha release in a few months following the completion of:
1. complete state encoding problem
2. modules
3. cell placement
4. cell routing
5. verification and sign-off of the whole flow
This development is all happening in the open under GPLv3.
