An integrated open CAD system for DSP design with embedded memory

In this paper an integrated open CAD methodology for low power designs used by the DSP56800 family with embedded memory is described Special consideration for embedded memory design is taken in the CAD system. The productivity improvement and IP sharing requirements for IC design drove the design of the integrated open CAD system. In order to reach design targets, select the best low power design implementation and reduce cycle rime to market, the CAD system described in this paper is needed.
