    Introduction to VLSI

     Parting notes
    Moore’s Law
     Gordon Moore: co-founder of Intel
     Predicted that the number of transistors
    per chip would grow exponentially (double
    every 18 months)
     Exponential improvement in technology is
    a natural trend:

    Exponentially more complex, greater design risk,


    greater variety, and a smaller design window!

    VLSI Design Styles

     Full Custom
     Application-Specific Integrated Circuit
    (ASIC)
     Programmable Logic (PLD, FPGA)
     System-on-a-Chip
    Full Custom Design

     Each circuit element carefully “handcrafted”


     Huge design effort
     High Design & NRE Costs / Low Unit Cost
     High Performance
     Typically used for high-volume applications
    ASIC

     Constrained design using pre-designed (and


    sometimes pre-manufactured) components
     Also called semi-custom design
     CAD tools greatly reduce design effort
     Low Design Cost / High NRE Cost / Med. Unit
    Cost
     Medium Performance
    Programmable Logic (FPGA)

     Pre-manufactured components with


    programmable interconnect
     CAD tools greatly reduce design effort
     Low Design Cost / Low NRE Cost / High Unit
    Cost
     Lower Performance
    System-on-chip (SOC)

     Idea: combine several large blocks


     Predesigned custom cores (e.g., microcontroller) -
    “intellectual property” (IP)
     ASIC logic for special-purpose hardware
     Programmable Logic (PLD, FPGA)
     Analog
     Open issues
     Keeping design cost low
     Verifying correctness of design
    The Inverted Pyramid
    Electronic Systems > $1 Trillion

    Semiconductor > $220 B

    CAD $3 B

     875 000 Transistor design done
     Limit is your processor power and your
    design abilities!
    Scenario in India???
     HUGE outsourcing
     Loads of startups (WHY?)
     VLSI design is nowhere a single nation job
     Fabrication labs (fabs) in USA getting sold
    out
     India getting 4 fabs by next year!
    Thank You

    Best of Luck for End-Sems and Internships
