Approaches to Custom Large Scale Integration.
Abstract
This study was conducted to provide a basis for more effective utilization of LSI in advanced avionics. The major tasks included: a review of the most recent industrial LSI capabilities; an analysis of available LSI technologies to identify the optimum approaches; development of guidelines for future development in LSI technology and for optimum use of LSI in advanced system programs. Major recommendations include the following: Future funding of custom bipolar LSI be directed to system houses with IC capability; encourage establishment of a cell library for the dense bipolar processes; emphasize total system lifetime costs in development specifications; provide an incentive, at the initial procurement stage, for proposing and developing systems with lifetime cost/performance advantages; development of an LSI family with broad coverage through the use of limited programmability be encouraged; seek additional high-volume outlets for LSI produced for the military markets; encourage development of a complete family of high-reliability MSI and SSI chips with a low power-delay product as a near-future alternative; encourage development of universal logic building blocks as the 'glue' between LSI chips.
