In each issue, Chip Design addresses the information needs of the leading-edge, upper-mainstream, and system-level programmable logic IC designers.
Specific topics include: verification, tool interoperability, power control and reduction, the inclusion of design for verification and design for manufacturing issues into the design process, changes in languages, and the need at the systems-level to use higher levels of abstraction.
Regular columns include: Industry Viewpoint, standards, libraries, programmable logic, design and verification languages, physical implementation, and test.
