Abstract: Traditionally, VLSI architects and designers have acknowledged the area, performance, and effort tradeoffs between cell-based and full-custom implementations of the same datapath function. However, few attempts have been made to characterize these tradeoffs in the context of contemporary fabrication processes and area place and route tools. More importantly, few attempts have been made to determine how to enable cell-based implementations to approach the density and speed of full-custom... (Update)

...generating all of the views needed to support the standard cell tools, is quite low (0. 5 4 person days depending on complexity) [1][6] and that a very small number of cells (10 20) is sufficient to realize most datapaths. Moreover these cells are reusable. They really...
