ASIC Design
Final project requirement - 1
Final project requirement
– Completed design of MSDAP• A summary of ASIC design
• Final report on the project
• Presentation (power point slides)
– Write a special topic on verification (option one)• Discuss the development of system level behavior model based on
specification
• Discuss how to test the system behavior model
• Discuss how to use the system level behavior model, which is independent form the detailed implementation, to test your designed chip
• Write a tutorial

Final project requirement - 5
– Complete design of MSDAP• A complete specification of the system
– Can you write a complete specification of MSDAP in VHDL? Can this spec be synthesized?
• Description of the design– Architecture– Each functional block
» Function» Interface with other blocks» VHDL code» Layout» Critical path» Testing input and output
• Testing of the system– Standard test bench (given in the class)– Special test bench (given when test your design at the end of the semester)
• Complete layout of MSDAP• Find the critical path and the related circuit of the “shifter and
accumulator” in the Data-path of your design, and then run SPICE simulation.

– Presentation• Prepare a power point presentation of your design
– I will choose a “part” of your whole design and may ask you to give a 10 minutes presentation
• Present your design to instructor/TA at the scheduled time.– Please sign time table
• Be prepared for questions related to your design, and you should be able to answer them.
• Presentation should be professional– Outline– Objective– Main work– Results– Remarks and comments– …
