Before the introduction of VLSI technology, most ICs had a limited set of
functions they could perform. An electronic circuit might consist of a CPU,
ROM, RAMand other glue logic. VLSI lets IC designers add all of these
into one chip.
The electronics industry has achieved a phenomenal growth over the last
few decades, mainly due to the rapid advances in large scale integration
technologies and system design applications. With the advent of very large
scale integration (VLSI) designs, the number of applications of integrated
circuits (ICs) in high-performance computing, controls, telecommunications,
image and video processing, and consumer electronics has been rising at a
very fast pace.
The current cutting-edge technologies such as high resolution and low bit-
rate video and cellular communications provide the end-users a marvelous
amount of applications, processing power and portability. This trend is
expected to grow rapidly, with very important implications on VLSI design
and systems design.
