Blendics LLC, also known as Blended Integrated Circuit Systems LLC, was founded to commercialize research carried out at Washington University in St. Louis and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in the areas of Asynchronous Network-on-Chip (ANoC) design. The firm offered design services and tools and silicon IP that enable companies to harness the speed and performance of hardware acceleration and system-on-chip (SoC) integrated circuits. Providing DANI (Delay-tolerant Asynchronous Network Interface) wrappers that provide an interface between synchronous cores and asynchronous network-on-chip; ClosureACE, a tool that facilitates the design of an asynchronous network-on-chip that connects DANI-wrapped objects; and MetaACE for simulating and validating synchronizer performance during metastability, the company offers its technology for FPGA and ASIC markets. Firm employs system architects and design engineers, highly skilled at meeting challenging global timing and power constraints for FPGA, ASIC and SoC designs, par
