Outlines
❖ Design Time
❖ Performance analysis versus design time
❖ Technology window
Design Time of IC
❖ Design Time of IC depends on following parameters
❑ Design complexity
❑ Performance level
❑ Acceptable cost
Performance analysis versus design time

longer design time
until “maturity”
Semi-custom Design
Circuit Performance

More Opportunities
Less Opportunities for performance
Shorter design for performance improvement
time until improvement
