The VLSI-CAD system is much used and enhanced by adding new tools. It consists of a mixed level simulator, a logic synthesis, layout systems, a functional test generation assistance, etc. The functional simulator on a laptop PC is for a 50k gate class LSI, and the mixed level simulator on an EWS and a mainframe is for an above l O O k gate VLSI.Many applications to the commercial product design have polished up the logic synthesis tool. In-house designer groups have reported a half short cut of the design time, using the VLSI-CAD system. A functional schematic capture is more friendly user interface than a logic schematic capture. A n e w approach to functional test generation shows a practical solution for increasing large and complex VLSI systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
