Abstract
It is pointed out that as complexity increases other methodologies beside the conventional approach to ASIC development should be considered. One approach available to ASIC designers is the silicon foundry service-the MOSIS service. This incremental approach has been practised by software engineers for many years. By adopting the same methodology, it may help ASIC development be more top-down and modular. It may also shorten the design cycle as well as reduce development cost
