INTEGRATED CHIP DESIGN using VLSI

INTEGRATED CHIP DESIGN using VLSI

ABSTRACT:

VLSI means ‘very large-scale integration.’ It is an effort to integrate discrete component circuits in a single silicon base (chip). The integration results in a high reliability, low power consumption, less weight, low volume, and low cost of products.

The growing need for sophistication of applications continually pushes the design as well as manufacturing of electronic components and systems to a new level of complexity. For less complex operations, it is possible to design an electronic system using discrete components (transistors, gate ICs, etc). When we want very complex operations to be performed by the electronic system, it is very difficult to design the system using discrete components. The system becomes very bulky, unreliable, and less redundant. Also, it takes a lot of time to develop the system.

Hence there is need to develop an integrated circuit or a single chip dedicated to a specific task. The chip is referred to as an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC).
