A third-generation family of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) that utilizes a combination of architectural and process improvements and features up to twice the density and speed of currently available FPGA devices is discussed. The architecture allows complete and efficient automated design implementation of FPGA-based designs, as well as maximum density and performance. User-configurable on-chip static memory resources further contribute to the high integration levels available to users of the third-generation devices.<>

The current status of existing simulators and their implementation techniques for VLSI circuits are reviewed. The basic algorithms upon which simulators are built are reviewed and practical implementation adopting the existing simulation program are described. Particular emphasis is placed on introducing the basics of computational techniques required for implementing DC, AC, and transient analysis as well as novel techniques for improving simulation accuracy or speed-up techniques. One specific feature is the demonstration of several experimental simulators. Some important areas for future research are also identified.<>

An efficient two-dimensional pipelined systolic architecture which can perform convolution operations in 2n+b/2 time units as opposed to O(bn) time needed for the sequential algorithm on a single processor is discussed. A very efficient pipelined multiplier, which enjoys all the merits of a systolic scheme and can be made a part of an ASIC library of medium-scale integration (MSI) cells, is also briefly discussed.<>

A mixed behavioral- and gate-level simulator is described. The unique feature is that the gate-level modules of a design are simulated using a simulation engine, while a host computer simulates the behavioral-level modules and enforces the synchronization between the host computer and engine. The behavioral models are described using a high-level process-oriented behavioral specification language BSL. Runtime experiments show that the simulator speeds-up the simulation of systems of size ( Hash gates, Hash lines BSL) in ((25 K, 2 K), (50 K, 10 K)) by a factor of 5-7 times, compared to the compatible software simulator.<>

Problems in designing mixed-signal ASICs come from different simulation accuracy requirements and, as a result, different modeling approaches for analog and digital circuits. The conventional design styles for mixed-signal ASICs use two separate simulators, such as a SPICE-like simulator for analog circuits and a logic simulation for digital circuits. This approach is engineering-intensive, time-consuming, and error-prone. To solve these problems, the analog modeling package (AMP) has been developed. The authors describe how the AMP presents a systematic solution to mixed-signal simulation on a pure digital-logic simulator. In the AMP, analog behavioral models are created by connecting parameterized building blocks in a schematic capture tool with SPICE-characterized data. Then a chip-level mixed-signal design verification is implemented on one simulator to eliminate errors. An analog-signal trace file is also created for automatic test program generation. This solution significantly enhances the competitiveness of mixed-signal design and development in cost, cycle-time, and first-pass success.<>

Test hardware interface requirements for testing high-pin-count ASIC TAB (tape automated bonding) products are discussed. Test solutions which have been proven in a production environment are described. Test-on-tape using the techniques illustrated has proven viable for high-speed bipolar gate arrays having 360 leads with 0.004 in lead width and 0.008 in lead pitch in the (outer lead bond) and test area. Successfully testing small pitch outer leads of TAB products requires the combination of electrical, mechanical, and thermal designs to be controlled within specific tolerances. The final testing of TAB ASICs is performed after all other value added processes have been completed. Therefore, an understanding of the factors which impact final test yield is essential.<>

A digital motion control system with primary applications in automatic elevator doors is presented. Digital signal processing methods are used for generating exponential waveforms for the drive motor. The unit keeps track of the actual speed of motion and the corresponding door position. Thus, the time consumed by door motion is minimized, and smooth acceleration and deceleration phases are achieved. The proposed algorithm results have been implemented in an efficient bit-serial ASIC implementation.<>
