A design flow is a set of procedures that allows designers to progress from a specification for a chip to the final chip implementation in an error-free way.

A good VLSI design system should provide for consistent descriptions in all three description domains (behavioral, structural, and physical) and at all relevant levels of abstraction (e.g., architecture, RTL/block, logic, circuit). The means by which this is accomplished can be measured in various terms that differ in importance based on the application. These parameters can be summarized in terms of: Performancespeed, power, function, flexibility Size of die (hence, cost of die) Time to design (hence, cost of engineering and schedule) Ease of verification, test generation, and testability (hence, cost of engineering and schedule)
