The Gajski–Kuhn chart (or Y diagram) depicts the different perspectives in VLSI hardware design. [1] Mostly, it is used for the development of integrated circuits. Daniel Gajski and Robert Kuhn developed it in 1983. In 1985, Robert Walker and Donald Thomas refined it. According to this model, the development of hardware is perceived within ...
The Mead–Conway VLSI chip design revolution, or Mead and Conway revolution, was a very-large-scale integration ( VLSI) design revolution starting in 1978 which resulted in a worldwide restructuring of academic materials in computer science and electrical engineering education, and was paramount for the development of industries based on the ...
Very-large-scale integration. Very-large-scale integration ( VLSI) is the process of creating an integrated circuit (IC) by combining millions or billions of MOS transistors onto a single chip. VLSI began in the 1970s when MOS integrated circuit (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) chips were developed and then widely adopted, enabling complex ...
High-level synthesis ( HLS ), sometimes referred to as C synthesis, electronic system-level (ESL) synthesis, algorithmic synthesis, or behavioral synthesis, is an automated design process that takes an abstract behavioral specification of a digital system and finds a register-transfer level structure that realizes the given behavior. [ 1][ 2][ 3]
In integrated circuit design, physical design is a step in the standard design cycle which follows after the circuit design.At this step, circuit representations of the components (devices and interconnects) of the design are converted into geometric representations of shapes which, when manufactured in the corresponding layers of materials, will ensure the required functioning of the components.
GDSII stream format ( GDSII ), is a binary database file format which is the de facto industry standard for Electronic Design Automation data exchange of integrated circuit or IC layout artwork. [1] It is a binary file format representing planar geometric shapes, text labels, and other information about the layout in hierarchical form.
VLSI Project. The VLSI Project was a DARPA -program initiated by Robert Kahn in 1978 [1] that provided research funding to a wide variety of university -based teams in an effort to improve the state of the art in microprocessor design, then known as Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI). The VLSI Project is one of the most influential research ...
Timing closure. The Timing closure in VLSI design and electronics engineering is the process by which a logic design of a clocked synchronous circuit consisting of primitive elements such as combinatorial logic gates ( AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, etc.) and sequential logic gates (flip flops, latches, memories) is modified to meet its timing ...
