Abstract
Circuit design is the realisation of the required logic for a system in terms of transistor circuits. The design objective of this stage is to produce a circuit which optimises the often conflicting requirements of minimum silicon area, minimum power consumed and maximum circuit speed. In addition, the difficulty of managing the design of a large system on a chip necessitates the adoption of repetitive, simple structures; this increases the chances of getting a working chip at the first attempt and greatly reduces the design time compared with an ad hoc approach.
