Beginning in the mid 1980's, VLSI technology had begun to advance
in two directions. Pushing the limit of integration, ULSI (Ultra
Large Scale Integration) represents the frontier of the
semiconductor processing technology in the campaign to conquer the
submicron realm. The application of ULSI, however, is at present
largely confined in the area of memory designs, and as such, its
impact on traditional, microprocessor-based system design is
modest. If advancement in this direction is merely a natural
extrapolation from the previous integration generations, then the
rise of ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) is an
unequivocal signal that a directional change in the discipline of
system design is in effect. In contrast to ULSI, ASIC employs only
well proven technology, and hence is usually at least one
generation behind the most advanced processing technology. In spite
of this apparent disadvantage, ASIC has become the mainstream of
VLSI design and the technology base of numerous entrepreneurial
opportunities ranging from PC clones to supercomputers. Unlike ULSI
whose complexity can be hidden inside a memory chip or a standard
component and thus can be accommodated by traditional system design
methods, ASIC requires system designers to master a much larger
body of knowledge spanning from processing technology and circuit
techniques to architecture principles and algorithm
characteristics. Integrating knowledge in these various areas has
become the precondition for integrating devices and functions into
an ASIC chip in a market-oriented environment. But knowledge is of
two kinds.
