An examination is made of some of the factors affecting testability of mixed analog and digital ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) standard cells. The influence of process characterization, accurate simulation models, and partitioning of digital and analog circuitry is discussed. In addition, the digitizing of the functionality of analog cells and applying testing strategies for complex digital systems are considered. Analog parameters which can be measured with a digital VLSI tester are also described.<>

A description is given of the realities of an implementation of a microprocessor-based design using a standard cell ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit). The entire design process is described from specifications and vendor selection through schematic capture, testability, and simulation. The ASIC design was implemented using the UCS51 family of microcontroller cells. An attempt is made to clarify the problems associated with the beta site nature of the project.<>

An ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) first-in-first-out (FIFO) memory circuit that has the capability of interfacing two data processing units operating at different speeds is described. The memory is implemented using a circular queue structure, which permits writing and reading of data indefinitely as long as the boundary flag conditions are not met. This memory also has the capability to retransmit only bad data words, not whole memory blocks as most standard FIFOs do. Another feature is dual-port memory operation, which allows bidirectional data transfers through the FIFO. All of the circuit implementations are done using NCR standard cells. This allows the use of automatic routing and test program generation tools provided by NCR VISYS.<>

ECL (emitter-coupled logic) and CMOS ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits) that are designed for short time interval measurements are presented. An ECL gate array designed for a time-to-digital converter based on analog interpolation techniques and constructed by discrete techniques in order to reduce its power consumption and circuit board area is described. The design and test of an integrated seven bit time-to-digital converter (TDC) based on tapped CMOS delay lines is also presented.<>

The author introduces automated schematic capture configuration for the UCS51 embedded microcontroller, which is based on the 80C51 microcontroller, and its five accompanying peripherals. In addition, current automation applications are outlined. The UCS51 design entry tool, a menu-driven automated schematic capture/configuration procedure, is discussed step by step, menu by menu. The discussion includes mapping the peripheral registers into the special function register bus where they may be directly accessed to support the full logical functions of the core's instruction set. 'How to' and sample schematics are shown for each configuration. Future and related applications are also explored.<>

The Alcatel Bell methodology for ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) design is presented, showing the feasibility of a high degree of circuit reusability. The methodology is supported by a proprietary integrated ASIC CAD system, providing access to libraries and technologies of various ASIC vendors. A considerable reduction in design effort is gained due to reusing and/or adapting components of a library constructed from building blocks created during previous designs. This is illustrated by the design of the network access interface circuit (NAIC), a key component in a telecommunication cross-connect system.<>

The use of several chip sets for the IBM PC/AT-type system, which offered cost and performance advantages over other standard discrete implementation, is discussed. It is shown that using ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) techniques allows not only huge device count reductions, but also permits further, proprietary ASIC advances for enhanced or unique functions. A system based on the devices described uses more than 70 fewer devices than are found originally on the IBM motherboard, yet provides almost three times the performance, as well as added functionality.<>

The stringent requirement of precision in the design of analog integrated circuit layout for correct functionality and reasonable performance warrant the use of parameterized module generators. A methodology for the design of a module generator is developed which outputs the mask-level topological description of the layout of the specified analog circuit and a (circuit-level) simulation model that includes the operational sensitivities of the circuit. The effectiveness of this methodology is demonstrated by the example of a generator for an operational transconductance amplifier.<>
