ASIC Design Methodology Primer
Abstract
This application note provides an overview of the application-specic integrated circuit (ASIC) design process. Four major phases are discussed: design entry and analysis; technology optimization and oorplanning; design verication; and layout.

Introduction
The ASIC Design Methodology Primer provides an overview of the steps involved in application specic integrated circuit (ASIC) design. An ASIC is a collection of logic and memory circuits on a single silicon die. ASICs are used in a wide variety of products ranging from consumer products such as video games, digital cameras, automobiles and personal computers, to high-end technology products such as workstations and supercomputers. The ASIC market, with steady growth
