1. NEW TRENDS IN VLSI DESIGN.
PROCESOR PERFORMANCE.
• Why is Performance Improving?
Better circuit design.

Move memory , cache and register.

More parallelism (wider data bus, pipelining,etc)

Transistors are switching faster!!!.


 Simple scaling.
Parameter Full scaling Constant voltage scaling
Dimensions: width, length , 1/s 1/s
oxide thihness.
Voltages: supply ,threshold . 1/s 1/s
Intrinsic gate delay . 1/s 1/s

Gate capacitance 1/s 1/s


Current per device 1/s s
Power dissipation per gate 1/s s
 Chip area.
 Transistor count vs year.
 Average transistor price vs year
o Can scaling continue infuture ?

2.TECHNICAL PROBLEMS WITH FUTURE VLSI
TECHNOLOGIES ..
 To much transistors
Design are too compicated .
Np way to do it manuallay

Solutions
Cad
Design hierarchicacally.
Design re use .
Area , performance ,power ,noise .
Importance to keep area small.
How to achieve such a good performance !.
Poer consummation is use .
Heat dissipation is also a problem
Both capacitive and inductive nices are not ignorable now .

Solutions
Physical design is an appropriate stage to handle all these .
Many research needs to be done.
