DPS is easy and a formal way to express the device specification. Currently the device (IC) specification is being done by the IC engineers using English as the medium of communication. This, many a times, results in translation errors and misinterpretation by IC users. Formal specification would remove any such ambiguity and also pave way for automation of laborious work flows. Using DPS not only aids device driver generation but in future it will aid verification test vector generation, which is an important design activity for IC design flow. The net result of all this is significant time gains in product roll out.
