SoC sub-components (IPs) generally come from various sources – internal and external – and with that it has become necessary that designers ensure the RTL is testable. If the RTL has testability ...

With the increasing complexity of SoCs, multiple and independent clocks are essential in the design. The design specifications require system level muxing of some of these clocks before they are sent ...

Systems on chip (SoC) and processor design teams are challenged to meet aggressive power, performance and area requirements. As chip complexity grows, teams must verify thousands of lines of code to ...

Overview of digital logic design. Implementation technologies, timing in combinational and sequential circuits, EDA tools, basic arithmetic units, introduction to simulation and synthesis using ...

At times physical design engineers find it difficult to relate with the additional timing modes introduced in PnR due to DFT insertion. These additional timing modes and related issues could be ...

Clock gating is one of the most frequently used techniques in RTL to reduce dynamic power consumption without affecting the functionality of the design. One method involves inserting gating conditions ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. For market growth to occur at desired levels, suppliers must meet consumer demand for compact electronic devices that integrate multiple functions. To ...

Texas Instruments has introduced six programmable logic devices with between 8 and 14 pins “with the ability to integrate up to 40 combinational and sequential logic and analogue functions into one ...
