Abstract :
Faced with the task of developing a complex 0.5-μm digital demodulator/decoder, Motorola engineers developed a new design process based on reusable cores. Incorporating design, logic synthesis, and placement-and-routing tools in an automated environment, this methodology greatly reduces cycle time for complex deep-submicron designs.
