Finite State Machines (FSMs) have long been a cornerstone of digital system design, and continuing advancements in logic synthesis have enabled increasingly optimised implementations. At its core, FSM ...
Well, summer has been and gone; and for most of us it was a time to relax and reflect on our working practices. What can we do to achieve better results? And what can we do to break out of the routine ...
While it is tempting to write RTL and let the synthesis tool take over, this isn’t the best way to get the results we want. In this article, we’ll learn how to create complex combinatorial code in ...
The VLSI design cycle is partitioned into two phases i.e. front-end and back-end phases of the complete SoC design cycle. While at front-end, most of the architectural specifications, coding and ...
This paper presents a digital design flow in order to design high performance differential Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL) circuits efficiently. The proposed flow is similar to the ordinary digital CMOS ...
When you think about it, logic synthesis is a vital but rather intimidating part of modern chip design. This process takes a high-level description of intended functionality, written in an RTL ...
