Abstract
Presents a highly automated design process for the prelayout phase of ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) system development. The process is divided into four major activities: design capture, design for testability, design verification, and test generation. The authors cover each of these in turn, discussing the reasons for their approach, the role of automation in each activity, and gains realized in several production developments
