Abstract :
A university entering into the realm of mixed-signal design implementation will face various difficulties and the design will be impacted by external factors. Tool environments, design libraries, technology process information and VLSI fabrication services will impact the design specification and be an impediment to the successful physical implementation of a mixed-signal design and future ability to rapidly reuse the design
