Specification Automation Tools Enabling Faster Completion of Chip Development Projects

The challenge before chip designers nowadays is to build high quality integrated circuit chips in a fast manner. But due to their small size and these having in them millions of components, designing chips is a complex and time consuming affair which can lead to delayed completion of chip development projects and overshooting of budget for such projects. Consequently, a chip development firm would lose business to its rival firms. This would also affect its profits.

To avoid such undesired outcomes, chip design companies need to adopt innovative and technologically advanced specification automation tools offered by a renowned electronic design automation solution provider. These tools enable the chip designers to automatically create a chip design verification code from the specification itself. So they can perform their chip design and verification tasks efficiently, leading to faster completion of projects. Also the projects can be managed within the allocated budget. So the concerned companies can deliver quality and bug free products to their clients timely and earn profits as projected. They can thus retain their clients and can well achieve their organizational goals.

Such a tool enables chip designers to create a simple yet powerful specification in popular editors used for documenting registers like Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel or plain text. As the specification is content aware, any conflict arising in a register address is checked and highlighted in the specification itself. Any change made in the specification gets automatically translated into the chip design verification code.

This tool can be easily used by the chip designers. Powerful code generation through it helps to keep the specification synchronized with the product development. Register data can be stored in the native editor format. The tool provides complete register data portability with the design teams. It is also extensible.

These are some of the benefits provided by this tool.

It lets chip designers to automatically verify all addressable registers in the chip design for ensuring the generated register code is correct.

With it, synthesizable code for the registers for design teams can be created. So they can be kept synchronized with the product requirements.

Its use leads to faster and more accurate development of a device driver, firmware and application software.

The tool helps to remove any errors between communication held between various functional teams working over a common chip development project.

It enables chip designers to automatically create product documentation for customers and technical publications.

The tool helps to improve performance and productivity of chip designers and lets them deliver quality results.

It supports various teams like design, architecture, verification, application software besides other teams working over a chip development work.

By using such a technologically advanced Specification Automation tool, chip designers can reduce complexity in their chip design and verification tasks and can perform them more efficiently. They can identify errors in a chip design and remove them at the earliest. So their passage into the manufacturing stage can be avoided where removing them would prove to be more costly and time consuming. Thus a chip development project can be completed faster and managed within the allocated budget. So the concerned chip development firm can deliver high quality and bug free products to its clients timely and can earn profits as projected. It would be able to retain its clients and can gain a competitive edge over its rival firms. Also, it can well achieve its organizational goals. The chip development firms should seriously consider investing in this tool as it is going to play a crucial role in their success.
