Abstract :
Gives an overview of the VLSI Technology ASIC synthesizer. It is a synthesis tool that is able to compile whole chips from a hardware description language specification. Synthesis tools like this will increase the productivity of chip design to such an extent that current techniques of circuit design will someday be obsolete. The authors describe in this paper the capabilities that the ASIC Synthesizer has, the development phases and some applications
