  • Abstract
    A new methodology for designing VLSI circuits has been developed at Harris GSS. The methodology is based on the concept of parametric macro cells. A parametric macro cell is an MSI-level circuit which can be modified by a computer program to meet the needs of a particular design. In this paper we discuss the design methodology, chip layout, the simulation techniques and other software tools used to ensure a valid design, plus the water testing approach.
