It covers a number of important fundamentals relatedto design methodology relevant to application specific integratedcircuits (ASICs). Although different silicon technologies arementioned, this book does not focus on any one technology type.It is recommended that you as an LSI Logic customer read this bookthoroughly. In this book we present some of the potentialconsiderations that may be necessary when designing your ASICsystem. If this is your first ASIC design, you will most likely benefitfrom suggestions and comparisons made throughout this book. Theyshould help you decide what trade-offs to make in choosing particularlogic configurations for both performance and logic integrity.In addition, test issues are discussed in order to emphasize thegrowing need to design testability into your logic at the beginning ofyour design and not as an afterthought.……
