Abstract

The efficient and fault-free design of highly complex integrated systems is becoming more and more an important factor in increasing the use of ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) in an industrial environment. The possibility of an easy design of such ASICs, coupled with the rapid progress in IC technology, will definitely open up the multi-faceted use of ASICs within the industry. At present the normal design techniques quickly reach their limits when complex circuits need to be designed. They can deliver optimal designs within a short design cycle time only in rare cases. In order to overcome the complexity factor, it is necessary to use powerful CAD (Computer Aided Design) techniques and tools, and automate a large part of the design process. This automation would relieve the designer and also allow unskilled IC designers to design complex systems in actual technologies.
