Abstract

Digital system design has been affected dramatically by very-large-scale integration (VLSI). Microprogramming will be affected most greatly by the VLSI design problem. Hardware performing specific functions will be replaced by regular arrays of logic and memory. Design time for VLSI systems will depend on sophisticated design aids for hardware and microcode, and concurrent systems will be common. Microcode will be used in virtually all highly integrated systems.
