This paper applies embedding knowledge into model based design method, an efficient and cost-effective way to develop embedded systems. The approach is based on a single design description in the graphical Matlab/Simulink environment that is used for FPGA emulation, ASIC design, verification and chip testing. This simulation-based approach gives a better understanding of design alternatives and trade-offs than traditional prototype-based design methodologies. It enables to optimize design to meet predefined performance criteria. The methodology is tested for designing CMOS inverter and the simulation results confirm the efficiency of presented methodology.
