Multimedia-Based Chip Design Education.

This paper focuses on multimedia computer-based training programs on chip design. Their development must be fast and economical, in order to be affordable by technical university institutions. The self-produced teaching program Illusion, which demonstrates a monitor controller as an example of a small but complete chip design, was implemented to examine the optimization of development. A reference model is presented as a base for future implementations. It reduces implementation time to an acceptable amount. Also, the authors plan the VeriBox, a learning environment for the hardware description language VERILOG. (DDR) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document. Multimedia-Based Chip Design Education
