Abstract :
The establishment of the engineering rules to create the executable and synthesizable (and/or testable) specification for an ASIC design in an ASIC CAD environment is discussed. The Intel 8253 programmable timer/counter was selected as a test example to illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of this CAD technology. The need for a high-performance cell-based ASIC/IC CAD system is critical for this application
