Building blocks of VLSI system on chip

VLSI is thus a technology that can be harnessed for various applications covering analog, digital and mixed signal electronics.
The current trend is to reduce the entire system design to a single chip solution called as system on chip (SoC)

Increasing Transistor Intensity




The number of transistors/gates that can fit in to the semiconductor die dictates the complexity of the functionality that the device can perform. The important factors that fuel the research in VLSI technology can be summarized as below:
•Increased functionality
•Higher reliability
•Small footprint
•Very low power consumption
•Increased speed of operation
•Re-programmability( except ASIC devices)
•Mass production
•Low cost

VLSI Verification

To reduce simulation time, system design and verification teams need to use a hardware-assisted verification system while reusing their established
behavioral test bench and verification environment.

To achieve a 10-fold leap in productivity, system design and verification engineers must begin designing at a higher level of abstraction.

To undertake comprehensive system-level verification, engineers must stress and validate their design in a scalable verification environment—one that
offers a high degree of control and visibility, applies system-level stimulus to the design, and verifies the performance and behavior of the integrated
system.

For effective system-level verification, engineers require a high-performance environment that allows access to hardware and software debuggers
while running various system-level scenarios using firmware, drivers, operating systems, and application software. Conventional simulation of designs
at RTL with embedded software at the system level is impractical and has performance limitations. Offering higher throughput, superior hardware/
software debug, and fast compilation

To ensure correct system verification, engineers must drive stimulus matching the specific protocols interfacing with their designs and check the design
response. They must also test the interface protocols under real-world operating conditions.
