FPGAs, orField Programmable Gate Arrays, are intriguing and powerful devices that offer a wide range of possibilities in the world of digital design. These customizable integrated circuits can be programmed to
Verilog models are most often used in the design and verification of digital circuits at the register-transfer level of abstraction. These Verilog models are further synthesized into the gate-level netlist. IBIS IBIS is the standard for describing the analog behavior of buffers of the digital IC’...
In object-oriented programming (OOP), anobjectis essentially an instance of aclass. In OOP languages, a class is like a blueprint wherevariablesand methods are defined, and each time a new instance of the class (instantiation) is created, an object gets created -- hence the term object-or...
In a fully connected hardware design workflow, you can useHDL Coder™to generate functionally correct Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL code to begin the hardware design implementation process. This approach has the added advantage of full traceability back to the model and requirements, which is cr...
IEEE defines both Verilog and VHDL as industry standards. Here’s a simple example of an AND gate in both languages. An AND gate has two inputs and one output. If the inputs are both equal to 1, the output is 1. If they are not equal or if both are set to 0, the output is...
and support standard modeling languages such as Verilog-AMS. The solution must have the flexibility of adapting to various design methodologies, whether it is a top-down, bottom-up or a mixed approach. Furthermore, in order to verify complex SoCs � often containing mixed-signal IP...
How should the various processing elements communicate? Complicating matters still further, the answer to any one of these questions can affect the answer to the others. A local opti- mization, for example, may not be a system optimization. You must be able to explore these interactions ...
Today we are talking about IoT which makes all devices around us smart enough to sense and act as programmed by us, whenever and from wherever we want. What makes it possible? Sensor is not a synonym of smart, but it is the technology which enables smart things to be done. Various type...
What are .v files? A file with a V file extension may bea source code file written in the Verilog hardware description language (HDL). It specifies a model of an electronic system. V files typically contain Verilog 2005 source code, but they may also use one of the older Verilog standard...
