Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AND BACKGROUND 1. 1 CAD, Specification and Simulation Computer Aided Design (CAD) is today a widely used expression referring to the study of ways in which computers can be used to expedite the design process. This can include the design of physical systems, architectural environments, manufacturing processes, and many other areas. This book concentrates on one area of CAD: the design of computer systems. Within this area, it focusses on just two aspects of computer design, the specification and the simulation of digital systems. VLSI design requires support in many other CAD areas, induding automatic layout. IC fabrication analysis, test generation, and others. The problem of specification is unique, however, in that it i!> often the first one encountered in large chip designs, and one that is unlikely ever to be completely automated. This is true because until a design's objectives are specified in a machine-readable form, there is no way for other CAD tools to verify that the target system meets them. And unless the specifications can be simulated, it is unlikely that designers will have confidence in them, since specifications are potentially erroneous themselves. (In this context the term target system refers to the hardware and/or software that will ultimately be fabricated. ) On the other hand, since the functionality of a VLSI chip is ultimately determined by its layout geometry, one might question the need for CAD tools that work with areas other than layout.
Download or read book Multilevel Representation and Simulation for VLSI Design written by S. W. Director and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design of integrated circuits has become almost impossible without circuit and system level simulation programs. Simulators at the circuit level produce performance data that allows the circuits to be functionally verified, optimized, and their performance evaluated. The size and complexity of integrated circuits has increased tremendously since the first circuit simulators were designed. Because the large circuits need to be simulated as thoroughly as smaller ones, the time spent simulating larger circuits has increased dramatically. Consequently, simulation tools that can efficiently simulate large circuits are needed. In this regard, work under this contract has focussed on the improvement of the mixed circuit/logic simulator SAMSON, as well as the development of new approaches to simulation. At the system level, simulators also produce data that allow the system architecture to be functionally verified, optimized and evaluated. Because of the ever larger systems being designed for implementation on an integrated circuit chip, there is a need for higher performance system level simulators. In this regard, work under this contract has also focussed on the development of new approaches to system level simulation. A study of the use of hardware accelerators in this application is described.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer-aided design (CAD) of very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits is concerned with the development of computer programs for the automated design and manufacture of ICs. Automated VLSI design is referred to as VLSI synthesis. Synthesis of VLSI circuits involves transforming a specification of circuit behavior into a mask-level layout which can be fabricated using VLSI manufacturing processes. Optimization strategies are vital in VLSI synthesis in order to meet desired specifications. However, the optimization problems encountered in VLSI synthesis are typically nondeterministic polynomial-time (NP)-complete or NP-hard. Therefore, solutions to the optimization problems incorporate heuristic strategies, the development of which requires a thorough understanding of the problem at hand. Thus, optimization-based VLSI synthesis has evolved into a rich and exciting area of research. Automata theory forms a cornerstone of digital VLSI system design. Sequential Logic Synthesis deals exclusively with finite automata theory and practice. The extensive use of finite state automata, finite state machines (FSMs) or simple sequential logic

This book was released on 1987 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most time consuming parts of the design process is the debugging of the project. This happens when simple modifications to a circuit require recompilation of the whole circuit. In the CAD tool currently available for digital systems design, compilation is a bottle neck. The VOHL system has an extremely efficient simulator phase and a reasonable but slower compilation phase. This thesis investigates a mechanism for eliminating the need to recompile the complete circuit when small changes are needed.
Download or read book Introduction to VLSI Systems written by Ming-Bo Lin and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-28 with total page 917 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the advance of semiconductors and ubiquitous computing, the use of system-on-a-chip (SoC) has become an essential technique to reduce product cost. With this progress and continuous reduction of feature sizes, and the development of very large-scale integration (VLSI) circuits, addressing the harder problems requires fundamental understanding of circuit and layout design issues. Furthermore, engineers can often develop their physical intuition to estimate the behavior of circuits rapidly without relying predominantly on computer-aided design (CAD) tools. Introduction to VLSI Systems: A Logic, Circuit, and System Perspective addresses the need for teaching such a topic in terms of a logic, circuit, and system design perspective. To achieve the above-mentioned goals, this classroom-tested book focuses on: Implementing a digital system as a full-custom integrated circuit Switch logic design and useful paradigms that may apply to various static and dynamic logic families The fabrication and layout designs of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) VLSI Important issues of modern CMOS processes, including deep submicron devices, circuit optimization, interconnect modeling and optimization, signal integrity, power integrity, clocking and timing, power dissipation, and electrostatic discharge (ESD) Introduction to VLSI Systems builds an understanding of integrated circuits from the bottom up, paying much attention to logic circuit, layout, and system designs. Armed with these tools, readers can not only comprehensively understand the features and limitations of modern VLSI technologies, but also have enough background to adapt to this ever-changing field.
