Moore’s LawMoore’s Law
In 1965, Gordon Moore noted that the number of transistors on a chip doubled every 18 to 24 months. He made a prediction that semiconductor technology will double its effectiveness every 18 months

Challenges in Digital DesignChallenges in Digital Design
“Microscopic Problems”• Ultra-high speed design• Interconnect• Noise, Crosstalk• Reliability, Manufacturability• Power Dissipation• Clock distribution.
Everything Looks a Little Different
“Macroscopic Issues”• Time-to-Market• Millions of Gates• High-Level Abstractions• Reuse & IP: Portability• Predictability• etc.
…and There’s a Lot of Them!

Why Scaling?Why Scaling? Technology shrinks by 0.7/generation With every generation can integrate 2x more
functions per chip; chip cost does not increase significantly
Cost of a function decreases by 2x But …
How to design chips with more and more functions? Design engineering population does not double every
two years… Hence, a need for more efficient design methods
Exploit different levels of abstraction

SummarySummary Digital integrated circuits have come a long
way and still have quite some potential left for the coming decades
Some interesting challenges ahead Getting a clear perspective on the challenges and
potential solutions is the purpose of this book Understanding the design metrics that govern
digital design is crucial Cost, reliability, speed, power and energy
