In this homework we will analyze the different design options regarding total overall costs. Variable costs depend on the number of parts, while fixed cost are independent of the number of part that are required for the project. Mask cost are the major fixed costs for CBIC designs. FPLDs usually have lower fixed costs but higher variable costs when compared to CBIC. For cell-based ASIC (CBIC), we have recently seen the mask costs reaching $1.5 million USD for a 90nm process and the mask costs are estimated with $4 million for the 65nm process. An introduction to this topic is available online in the "edacafe:" Deliverables: 1. The following costs data for FPLDs and CBICs are given: a. [6 points] Compute the total costs (fixed costs + number of parts * part costs) if you need to order the following 3 quantities of the parts: b. [4 points] For the data from above determine the FPLD/CBIC break-even volume, i.e., the number of parts P when the FPLD and CBIC costs are the same and complete the costs/parts graph below. (Hint: Copy the figure to MS Programs->Accessories->"Paint" program to complete the figure) break even point P= FPLD better cheaper for: CBIC better cheaper for
