What is BS EN 61523-1 - Timing and power of integrated circuits about? 
Integrated circuits are globally popular in most electronic devices like automobiles, watches, microwave ovens, computers, televisions, traffic lights etc. BS EN 61523-1 helps calculate the timing and power of integrated circuits. BS EN 61523-1 is applicable for both unit logic cells supplied by the integrated circuit vendor and logical macros defined by the integrated circuit designer.
Although BS EN 61523-1 applies to the representation of timing and power for designer defined macros (or hierarchical design elements). By specifying standard exchange formats for parasitic data and floor planning information, BS EN 61523-1 provides a marked improvement over design environments with no such standards.
Who is BS EN 61523-1 - Timing and power of integrated circuits for? 
BS EN BS EN 61523-1 on the timing and power of integrated circuits is useful for: 
- Integrated circuit designers
- Integrated circuit vendors
- Integrated circuit suppliers
- Electronic Design Automation (EDA) developer
- Manufacturer of electronic equipment and components
- Manufacturer of electrical equipment and components
- Maintenance and augmentation teams  
- Companies associated with designing and installation of electronic devices

- Quality management teams
Why should you use BS EN 61523-1 - Timing and power of integrated circuits?
Integrated circuits are fundamental building blocks of modern electronic devices. They function as an oscillator, timer, computer memory, amplifier, microcontroller, microprocessor, counter or logic gate. There are certain specifications regarding the performance of these semiconductor devices.
The guidelines in BS EN 61523-1 assist integrated circuit designers to analyze chip timing and power consistently across a broad set of EDA applications. BS EN 61523-1 also makes it possible for integrated circuit vendors to express timing and power information once (for a given technology), and for EDA vendors to meet their application performance and capacity needs. BS EN 61523-1 also assist integrated circuit supplier by enabling them to provide a superior quality product to the customers.
