Editor's Note: In Part 2 of this series,consultant and ASIC designer Tom Moxoncovered several trends in virtual silicon prototying design flows.In this installment of the series he'll show how to link ...

For the past several months we’ve been looking into what it takes to write good RTL code. We’ve looked at how to write register-driven RTL, how to write combinatorial processes, and how to write state ...

Just choosing a module can be a challenge to the RTL designer because the partitioning criteria for the RTL and architectural styles are different. In RTL, partitioning is driven by logic-synthesis ...

HARDWARE DESIGN is a process of refining an idea from a highly abstract form to a concrete, physical implementation. Along the way, a design is continually transformed from a given state of ...

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 ...
