Methodological Guide to ASIC Design with Durability Management "COCISPER: Conception Circuits Integres Specifiques et Perennite"
Abstract
The military sector is characterized by specific aspects such as small series high reliability long life-cycle products. In this context the DGA wished to set up means to develop specific integrated circuits for the durability of electronic systems. Thus in 1995 a first COCISPER contract has been awarded to a Consortium fully representative of the industry in France. It is aimed to establish a methodology guide for designing ASIC taking into account the needs for system durability. Therefore it defines an industrial standard following the withdrawal of mil-spec ones. The guide produced within this project specifies the general development plan of numeric integrated circuits at the ASIC design process level but also at the equipment and system specification validation and qualification stages. It proposes recommendations applicable to the whole industry. A follow-up study has been awarded to the same Consortium in 1998 which aims at experimenting and validating the COCISPER guide on real applications but also at updating it to take into account the Programmable Logic Devices (PLD) and recent techniques such as the use of Virtual Components.
