A Conceptual Framework for Designing ASIC Hardware

A conceptual framework consisting of the design process, the design space, and the design repertoire for ASIC hardware is presented. An Inter-Level Design Process Model (ILDP) is proposed as a general model for expressing and implementing hierarchical design methodologies. The proposed conceptual framework is an effective instrument for bridging the increasingly wider gap between application engineers and VLSI designers.
