Patrick R. Schaumont, Serge Vernalde, Luc Rijnders, Marc Engels, Ivo Bolsens · 1998
A C++ based programming environment for the design of complex high speed ASICs is presented. The design of a 75 Kgate DECT transceiv er is used as a driv er example. Compact descriptions, combined with efficient sim ulationand syn thesis strategies are essen tial for the design of such a complex system. It is sho wn how a C++ programming approach outperforms traditional HDL-based methods.
