why ASIC designer should always think hardware

[krs]

hi friends,

I have another question with me.

A good ASIC designer always ‘thinks’ Hardware.why it is
necessary for a designer to think this way.
even if we able to get the desired logic with more hardware the
synthesis tool will optimize it.
Then why do we have to think in terms of hardware.

I will be waiting for answers.


bye friends
ravi.

Ravi,
With an omnipotent synthesis tool, your assertion
is correct, however, one has yet to be written.

Combined with your other post, it makes me ask,
is this homework?

Cheers,
Jim
