[sdiy] Having a hard time finding the chips you want - roll your own!

[Alex]

Hi all!


I recently bought a PCB/Schematic layout software called "Target 3001" made
by a german
engineering office (Ing. Büro Friedrich, http://www.ibfriedrich.de).
It's a really great program and a lot cheaper than other PCB/Schematic
software.
Their support is outstanding, too. If you have questions or problems with
the software
you get the answer imediately. (With e-mail below an hour)
But here come's what you might be looking for:
They also offer a CAD software which's called "Target Chip Designer"
With this program you can design your own ASICs (Analog and Mixed Signal)
and then you can send the file directly to "Prema Semiconductors"
(http://www.prema.com)
which produce the chips for you.

Sounds nice, but actually I wasn't able to find out minimum amount of ICs
you have to order and
the costs.

Regards,
Alex
