Abstract :
The EUROPRACTICE project, funded by EC DGIII-ESPRIT, was set up in October 1995 to help companies improve their competitive position in world markets by adopting ASIC, multi-chip module (MCM) or Microsystems (MEMs) solutions in the products they manufacture. The EUROPRACTICE IC Service, as part of the project, is concentrating on offering universities and industry a proven route to low cost ASIC prototypes and small volumes
