3. Basics of VLSI Design Flow

“ The design flow start with a given set of specification or
requirements.

o

Le

So, system should get design with respect to given specifications.

At the end, when the desired specifications are not met, the design

has to be modified and re-checked several times until it meets the
required specifications.
