EE290 A: Advanced Topics in CAD Component Based Design of Electronic Systems Lecture 10
Why components?
NRTS: Raw Silicon Capability
Design Productivity
NRTS: Prediction - Increasing design reuse
Alternative: El Greco design flow
Design Productivity by Approach
To Design, Implement, Verify ...
Even for 10M transistors ...
Productivity vs. QOR
Productivity vs. QOR
After only one process generation
