An Example of ASIC Design Using Standard Cells

For ASIC designing, there are fullcustom and semicustom techniques The semicustom method, which is widely used at present in the design of gatearray ASIC's, standardcell ASIC's and programmable logic IC's, is a kind of restrictive design method An example of designing a controller circuit using standardcell method is presented in the paper The design procedure and key steps are described in particular, and the establishment of standard cell library is briefly introduced
