Description / Abstract:
To provide a standard method of modeling ASICs in VHDL. This
method is aimed at providing efficient, accurate, and tool
independent simulation suitable for large chip-level designs
typical of those which are based on ASICs.
Purpose
Current industry methods for designing complex chip-level
designs rely on proprietary solutions which are based on specific
commercial tools. This standard provides an effective means of
performing those designs in a standard, non-proprietary manner that
is independent of specific tools. This promotes cost effective
design flows and promotes healthy levels of competition in the
electronic design industry. This standard builds on the work of
IEEE 1076 VHDL which is a standard hardware description language
designed to allow such tool independent electronic design.
