VLSI design today, has acquired the status of the most happening field in electronics. These are a highly specialized field that has the power of integrating millions of transistors on a single chip. The VLSI family i.e PLDs, FPGAs, along with EDA tools has changed the VLSI design scenario. These tools are finding extensive applications in areas like consumer electronics, defense, aerospace, set top entertainment boxes, computer peripherals, satellites, communication, cell-phone etc. Furthermore growing technological requirements like reduction in design cycle times need for multiple featured low cost and low powered small size and high performance devices have created an unprecedented demand for the design of large complex integrated circuit. |
