Abstract

This article presents the design and implementation of a personal computer (PC)-based netlist compiler for application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design. The netlist compiler system is an ASIC front-end design software tool, developed using the Turbo C programming language. This software tool enhances the design automation for ASIC design in the Philips Personal Design Station (PPDS) environment. It converts a high-level language description file written in a subset of VHDL (Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language) into its gate-level implementation, using the Philips SystemCell II and SystemGate II library components.
