Abstract
A discussion related to CAD tools may seem out of place in a book intended for electronics engineers and therefore a few words of justification are necessary. There are three major forces driving the increasing level of integration in ASICs. These are:
-
(1)
Advances in fabrication techniques that result in smaller transistor geometries.
-
(2)
Industry’s need to put as much as possible on a single chip.
-
(3)
Advances in CAD for ASIC design.
