They are finally recognizing the contribution of well run Technological Development Teams with processes that work. First-pass silicon is critical to this equation. In 36 years of working on chip development in Design, Verification and Physical Design I have taped out 25 large ASICs and processors, with 24 first pass successes. I will give an overview of many key processes that I believe made the difference for these chips to make it to production without re-spin.Included:Design for Verification - Corner casesMethodology Issues - XProp, Asynchronous Logic, Clocking, PowerVerification Processes Required to meet scheduleGate Level Simulation - Finding Physical Design bugs that get through to siliconPlus - How not to get locked into a EDA houseDan Joyce worked at Tandem/Compaq/HP, Western Research Labs, Marvell, Oracle Labs, Samsung, SiFive, and Ericsson. Dan has taped out 25 large chips, performing Design, Verification and a little Implementation. Most of his career and his passion has been on Verification. The last 13 years he has focused on maximizing predictable, cost-effective first-pass success with Timing Gate-Level Simulation.
