The purpose of CMC’s Digital IC Design Flow Tutorial is to:
- Help take users who are familiar with either Verilog or VHDL through the beginning-to-end process of digital IC design, with the goal to fabricate the design (i.e., a complete flow from VHDL/Verilog to full layout, ready for the foundry). The emphasis of the tutorial is tool use and design flow.
- Give users a starting point from which they can proceed to more complex usage of each tool.
The tutorial describes how to perform a step, not why.
