VLSI refers to the fields of electrical and computer engineering dealing with the analysis and design of very dense electronic integrated circuits. The process of constructing a VLSI chip involves a design team first creating a system specification and abstract high-level model, then using a hardware description language for digital design before logic synthesis, circuit design, and physical design lead to manufacturing the finished VLSI chip. VLSI chips can be full-custom, application-specific integrated circuits, or semi-custom, and Moore's Law predicts the number of transistors on a chip will double every 18 months.

VLSI?
VLSI Very Large Scale Integration
Refers to the many fields of electrical and computer engineering that deal with the analysis and design of very dense electronic integrated circuits

Steps to construction in VLSI


Start with a design team Then move to a design hierarchy
Digital design is usually based on some type of Hardware Description Language (HDL)

Design Hierarchy
System Specifications
Abstract high-level model

Logic Synthesis
Circuit Design

Physical Design
Manufacturing Finished VLSI Chip

VLSI Chip Types


Full-custom
Every circuit is designed for the project

Application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC)


Allow designers to create ICs for a particular application

Semi-custom
Between full-custom and ASIC

Moores Law
Gordon Moore (Intel)
The number of transistors on a chip would double about every 18 months
