CHAPTER 3 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
3.1 GENERAL Enabling technology for a whole host of innovative devices and systems that have changed the way we live is the Integrated circuit(IC) Technology. In the year 2000 Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce received the Nobel Prize in Physics for their invention of the integrated circuit and without the integrated circuit, neither transistors nor computers would be as important as they are today. We know that VLSI systems are very smaller in size and consume less power when compared to discrete components that used to build electronic systems before the 1960s. Building up the systems with many more transistors is allowed by Integration, also much easier to design and manufacture and are more reliable than …show more content…
In this section, we briefly survey VLSI manufacturing.
TECHNOLOGY
Most manufacturing processes are fairly tightly coupled to the item they are manufacturing. An assembly line built to produce Buicks, for example, would have to undergo moderate reorganization to build Chevys—tools like sheet metal molds would have to be replaced, and even some machines would have to be modified. And either assembly line would be far removed from what is required to produce electric drills.

Efficiency in integrating number of transistors on a single chip is limited by the power consumption of a logic circuit. Due to minimizing the number of transistors per chip changes system designs in several ways and it increases the system physical size. Cooling requirements and Power supply will increases, if we use high-powered circuits. From the fact we know that the time required to transmit a signal between the chips is larger than the time required to transmit the same signal between the transistors on the same chip and due to this the advantage of using a higher speed circuit is lost. For every CMOS designer the relationship between heat and power consumption makes low-power design techniques as an important knowledge and low-power design is important especially in battery-operated systems like mobile phones. As CMOS size become smaller, additional power consumption come into act and traditional in CMOS static power consumption is less when compared to the dynamic power consumption. In the smaller size design, power consumption due to leakage is larger than dynamic power consumption and we should introduce new design techniques to conflict leakage
