Executive Summary
Every market operates on this principle: “ Customer is the king”. Among electronic gadgets, customer expectations are high performance multimedia experience, new and advanced features, smaller product size, low battery consumption and affordable price. And these are just minimum expectations.
For decades, the VLSI industry follows one law to fulfill the customer’s needs , the Moore’s Law. It states that number of transistors per chip would grow exponentially (double very 18 months). It is actually not a law; it is a passionate statement or perhaps a visionary one. Obeying this law led the VLSI industry to exponentially increase chip density. This resulted in language based design and synthesis, and design and IP reuse to approach complex SoC functionality.
