Turns out silicon design isn’t nearly as out of reach as it used to be and Matt Venn shows us the ropes in his Zero to ASIC workshop ... Part of a massive logic flow chart for an IC counter ...

“Now, those many months of hard work have culminated in providing the high-performance ASIC market with a design flow that cost-efficiently takes on the complexity of next generation 3DIC ASIC ...

The VLSI design cycle is divided into two phases ... Fig-1. Logical Equivalence Check flow diagram There are various EDA tools for performing LEC, such as Synopsys Formality and Cadence Conformal. We ...

This ruled out the use of extensive custom circuits, and led to the adoption of a methodology close to a traditional ASIC design flow, but one tuned to the aggressive performance goals demanded by the ...
