Oscilloscope ASIC Kickstarter instead of Open scope.
donotdespisethesnake:
So THIS is how those clueless KickStarter projects get born. I often wondered. :palm:
Obviously, the first thing you need to get people on board is some people skills. Find the right people, and listen to what they saying. Telling the engineers how to do their job never works out.
Maybe the OP needs to post to that other widely respected electronics forum were the real experts are, instead of nay saying fools ::)

Edit: I mean NEW asic design

Ignoring the fact that there are several major semiconductor manufacturers based in Europe (ST, AMS...), have foundries (Global foundries, ST, AMS, On Semiconductor, Ti...), have R&D offices here (even more), then that only leaves the little players. Given that that sort of thing happens pretty often, I'm guessing last Tuesday.

@daqq. Thank you. I did not know. And I am exaggerating. BTW, I checked and found that Global foundries is US company. Never heard about them. Anyway. I do not see Europe as a place where any new semiconductor development is happening. It is just a perception of random internet person. Not a true fact. You presented facts, I looked and saw.
Well. In my world, there is no NEW semiconductor development happening in anywhere except USA or perhaps South Korea. Nothing. May be all those silicon developers in Europe are attending their jobs, work, come back home. And no effect is felt anywhere. The progress of things in 21st century is pathetic. The guys in Europe are faking each to other, because they have learned how to fake the things recently. In USA the fakery was popular and was quickly unlearned long before.

Yup, with foundries and R&D offices all over the world. They Like most notable semiconductors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GlobalFoundries#Fabrication_facilities

Must be an interesting world where China, Israel and a host of other places do not exist.

Yeah, I mean, we just have the equivalent of a supercomputer of the year 1995 in our pocket, there are 10+ GSPS COTS ADCs out there, and 16GB of RAM is common. Where's my damn' flying, semi-sentient AI controlled, brain connected car!?

That is like saying that Apple will boycott me if I try to design an OS.
--- End quote ---
They would not boycott/sue you for designing an OS, but put anything they have a patent on in either intentionally or by mistake and they'll jump on you right away.
Point is, it's likely you can only make a relatively simple IC that might not be stellar, becasue all the little tricks that can make it better are patented.
