ASIC Technology Migrations: A Design Guide for First Pass Success

This thesis presents a study of Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) technology migrations. An overview of the design flow methodology used for completing a ASIC design from concept to silicon is presented. The design flow is then augmented with special considerations specifically for ASIC technology migrations. An ASIC technology migration design example, using the special considerations, is preseted. Finally, a summary is presented with considerations regarding future work.
