The IBM ASIC design flow require cooperation between the costomer and the manufacturer's design house.

The IBM ASIC design flow require cooperation between costomer and the manufacturer's design house. ✍️ Design entry:-               Design are entered in a hardware description language such as VHDL or verilog Schematic entry is also supported. ✍️ Logic synthesis:-               IBM logic synthesis tools are used to map the design into a gate level design in the IBM cell library.Logic synthesis also ensures that the design is appropriate for LSSD. ✍️ Simulation:-               The design can be supported either at the functional or gate level. ✍️Floorplaning:-                 It can be used to estimate wiring capacitance,area and wiring congestion. ✍️Test structure verification:-                This step ensure that the design satisfies a set of IBM defined rules that ensure the design - including RAM,etc-...
