Abstract :
A C++ based programming environment for the design of complex high speed ASICs is presented. The design of a 75 Kgate DECT transceiver is used as a driver example. Compact descriptions, combined with efficient simulation and synthesis strategies are essential for the design of such a complex system. It is shown how a C++ programming approach outperforms traditional HDL-based methods.
