Abstract :
An analysis, tradeoff, and design tool for ASICs that allows an engineer to consider and develop ASICs at a personal computer is discussed. Specific examples include missile guidance systems and CCD image processing. Each project took five days or less to complete, including the final output steps on the Genesil silicon compiler
