Su Yuanshan and they were very lucky, and Deputy Director Zhou was in the office at this time.

Like all researchers who concentrate on scientific research, Zhou Boguang is not good at receiving people and things, and compared with Jia Jibing's arrogance, Zhou Boguang has a more serious old-school scholar temperament.

After reading the letter of introduction, Zhou Boguang did not make any evaluation, nor did he show any contempt, he took out a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to Tian Yaoming: "Can you fill it out in ten minutes? Fill it out and I'll sign it, Wen Jie will take you to tape-out - you know the price of tape-out, right?"

"Yes, we've got it ready. Tian Yaoming smiled, if it had been changed before, it would have been difficult to enter the door of a large state-owned factory like Huajing, but because the project was launched ahead of schedule, he is now as poor as a ghost, and he wishes that someone would come to tape out every day.

But after seeing that there was only one engineering order, Tian Yaoming smiled bitterly: "Professor Zhou, one is not enough, we have three chips." ”

Zhou Boguang was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the electrical department to make three in one go...... However, it is estimated that this is a chip that several research groups in the electrical department have long been made, and they will be put into production in the form of a private enterprise - this is also a relatively new way to monetize technology, and Zhou Boguang actually appreciates it. He has always believed that technology is to be taken out and used, and if the technology is not taken out and used, no matter how powerful it is, it is empty.

So he took out three more engineering orders and handed them to Tian Yaoming, while holding up the teacup, he asked casually, "What kind of chip are you?"

"The Chinese information coding chip of the wireless pager, the Chinese decoding chip of the wireless pager and the central control chip. ”

"Poof......" Zhou Boguang took a sip of tea and sprayed it into the teacup.

Su Yuanshan and Qin Weimin looked at each other and smiled-this should be a normal performance.

It has been 8 years since the paging station entered the country in 83 years, but the paging station and pager are all foreign brands without exception.

Zhou Boguang quickly realized his gaffe, and he stared at Tian Yaoming and said in a deep voice: "You mean, your electrical department has completed the full set of domestic production of Chinese pagers?"

At this time, Qin Weimin interjected: "Professor Zhou, it's not our electrical department, it's our Yuanxin." ”

"You Yuanxin?" Zhou Boguang picked up the letter of introduction: "The one in which Associate Professor Su Xinghe participates?"

Qin Weimin nodded: "Yes, Professor Su is my mentor." This is Professor Su's son, Su Yuanshan. ”

When he introduced just now, Chen Yujie only introduced Qin Weimin and Tian Yaoming with a master's degree and a doctorate, but did not introduce Su Yuanshan, who seemed to be a college freshman at most.

Zhou Boguang took a deep breath.

As the deputy director in charge of technology from the semiconductor research institute, he certainly knows how difficult it is to design an IC chip. In particular, this kind of codec IC has always been monopolized by foreign high-tech enterprises by relying on early start and strong technical force. Now this private company has actually come out!

"Do you have independent intellectual property rights?"

Qin Weimin was a little proud: "All independent intellectual property rights. ”

The corners of Zhou Boguang's eyes shrank again, as a technical background, he almost subconsciously thought that this was a mouthful! But he immediately realized that he dared to use it for tape-out, which meant that at least it had been demonstrated and designed, and it couldn't be a joke! He was not in the God of Wealth department here, so what were they deceiving themselves?

Could it be the design of a foreign company that they bought at a high price? Do they have so much money? This is a Chinese paging product, a blank product in the market! Who will design it and sell it to a domestic individual company?

Zhou Boguang's eyes wandered, and his gaze stopped at the young man who had been smiling and silent, and was still indifferent in the face of a master's degree and doctorate and himself.

At this time, the young man's eyes also looked at him, and there was a ray of respect and ease in his eyes, as if he had seen an acquaintance.

......

Su Yuanshan knew that Zhou Boguang had 10,000 question marks in his mind, and according to Lao Zhou's character, if he didn't figure out how he managed these people, he wouldn't even be able to sleep tonight.

So Su Yuanshan smiled slightly and took out the hard drive from the briefcase.

"Hello Professor Zhou, our chip design only took about two months. The biggest credit lies in the EDA software developed by Yuanxin, which has the strongest integrated circuit design and simulation capabilities on the market. Just yesterday, it passed the layout compatibility test of the Jiangyin plant. ”

"If you'd like, I can show you our chip design capabilities and simulation capabilities. ”

Su Yuanshan built a new project.

"The operating habits of Yuanxin EDA are similar to those of Cadence, but the level of functionality and automation is far richer and stronger than that of Cadence. Our simulation tools are unique in the world, involving more than a dozen algorithm patents pending. ”

Su Yuanshan explained while planning the module arbitrarily, and at the same time put down the logic circuit very easily.

"Because it is a modular and intelligent design, it has high performance requirements for computers. Especially when simulating, it can take a long time if there are too many components – but under Moore's Law, the CPU is getting faster and faster, and that's not a problem. ”

Su Yuanshan looked back at Zhou Boguang, who was shocked, and thought for a while: "Professor Zhou, you have a simple need now, and I will show it to you." ”

Zhou Boguang licked his lips, he was in a complicated mood now, how could he think of any needs for a while. At this time, Chen Yujie, who was also shocked on the side, suddenly came to his senses: "You design a card reading chip for the access control switch." ”

Su Yuanshan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Senior Brother Chen, this is not simple, what kind of network do you use?"

"The Internet? ”

"Uh...... I'd be mistaken, okay, you give me the requirements and parameters. ”

Chen Yujie immediately ran back to the office.

Su Yuanshan did not wait for him, but planned the functional module first.

If it is a card reader of the network, then he has no way to "pretend", after all, the project involves the transmission of the network, data storage, and exchange, which is more troublesome than his set of pagers, and he does not want to get it in a month or two, after all, he has a mature plan for pagers.

But just a simple card reader, you only need to compare high-frequency signals.

As Chen Yujie brought the requirements and parameters, the functional modules were also planned and arranged, and Su Yuanshan began to compare the parameter input instructions.

Two hours later, Su Yuanshan completed the input of the last instruction and generated the circuit at the same time. After simulating it and fixing two bugs. Su Yuanshan set the parameters and started the simulation.

"Chiplet, simulation should be fast. ”

As the pins light up, the green parameters are also displayed, and after ten minutes, the simulation is completed.

Su Yuanshan didn't look at Chen Yujie, he was afraid that the hot breath exhaled by Chen Yujie would spray on his face—this guy was standing on his right hand now, panting constantly.

"Professor Zhou, what do you think of our products?"

Zhou Boguang had regained his composure, but his eyes were as bright as stars.

At the same level, what is the most important thing in the design of integrated circuits?

It's a tool.

Before the birth of EDA, the design chip relied on manual drawings, so after the first 4004 appeared, the MCS-48 was reproduced in China relying on hand-drawn paper - Zhou Boguang was one of the participants.

At that time, everyone's design tools were the same, all of them were paper, pens, and rulers.

When various EDA software appeared, Intel, which had the right time and place, quickly took advantage of the fast and convenient of major EDAs to launch new instructions one after another, designed new products, and also completed the patent barrier of X86.

It can be said that tools are the primary productive forces in the field of chip design.

Now, the young man had a dragon slaying knife in front of him. Ask him, how does it feel?
