Re: customer requirments
Hi tyuga454,
That is the very basic question. Costumer's requirement depends on their projects, but in general following things are generally considered:
* Cost of chip.
* Area required to fabricate the chip.
* power requirement.
* Speed.
* Operating Temparature.
Generally, cheap chip, with minimum area, low power requirement, max. speed and wide operating temperature are always desirable. However you cannot achieve all this specifications at a time. there always exist a Trade-off, for ex. if u want high speed,u cannot get low power. If u want low power, u have to compromise with the speed. There are several other parameters where trade-off exists.
So, in a nutshell it always depend on the specific requirement of the chip, depending on which the design is finalized. However designers always try to optimize their design considering all the factors.
