| Currently, the design automation of digital systems is a widely researched topic. Existing design automation systems take a register-transfer level design specifications and perform a variety of hardware design tasks. A number of these tasks are menial and repetitive in nature, which make them suitable for automation. Some of these tasks are simulation, physical synthesis, placement, routing, etc.;This research presents a system to accept a micro-instruction table and output it in terms of masks. This system interprets the micro-instruction table and converts it into a structural description. This description has to be written in some structural description language. In this case, we use SDL which is one of the components of the Berkeley Design Automation framework. This SDL description is the input to the LagerIV Silicon Assembly system, which in turn converts it into masks. |
