This book describes the breadth of design, validation, and analysis steps associated with the development of an integrated circuit chip. Collectively, these steps are typically described as the overall methodology to be applied by the engineering teams throughout a chip design project. Some steps can be pursued concurrently, whereas others require successful completion of preceding steps as a project milestone before proceeding.
The design methodology encompasses more than just the steps to be followed. It also includes the policies in effect for chip hierarchy data management and the description of the ...
