INTRODUCTION OF VLSI DESIGN

VLSI(very large integrated circuit) is the process of

creating the integrated circuit by combining of million
of transistor or device into a single chip .VLSI is the
development and basic principle of IC(integrated
circuit) fabrication .It is the part of the semiconductor
and communication technologies. The microprocessor
is a VLSI device. A VLSI device commonly known as a
microcontroller (an electronic circuit consist of a Ram
,Rom and other on one board ).

VLSI DESIGN PROCESS(In Technical sense)

1.System Specification:
step of any design process is to lay down the specifications of the system. System
specification is a high level representation of the system. The factors to be
considered in this process include: performance, functionality, and physical
dimensions (size of the die (chip)). The fabrication technology and design
techniques are also consider .The specification of a system is a compromise
between market requirements, technology and economical viability. The end
results are specifications for the size, speed, power, and functionality of the VLSI
system.

2. Architectural Design:
The basic architecture of the system is designed in this step. This includes, such
decisions as RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) versus CISC (Complex
Instruction Set Computer), number of ALUs, Floating Point units, number
andstructure

• 2.Architecture Design: The basic architecture

of the system is designed in this step. This includes, such
decisions as RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer)
versus CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer),
number of ALUs, Floating Point units, number and
structure of pipelines, and size of caches among others.
