Verilog is a Hardware Description Language (HDL) used to model digital logic. The values of signals can be written out to a Value Change Dump (VCD) file while simulating logic circuits. The syntax of the VCD *text file* is described in the documentation of the IEEE standard for Verilog, ...
What Is an FPGA? Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are semiconductor devices that are based around a matrix of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) connected via programmable interconnects. Unlike traditional integrated circuits (ICs) - for example,CPUsorGPUs- which have a fixed function once man...
What Is HDL Verifier? Test and verify Verilog® and VHDL® designs for FPGAs, ASICs, and SoCs with HDL Verifier™. Verify RTL with testbenches running in MATLAB® or Simulink® using cosimulation with HDL simulators. Use these same testbenches with FPGA and SoC development boards ...
Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) verification is a set of standards, tools, and APIs for creating a universal way of verifying designs. This API/ methodology is meant for building functional testbenches for SoCs. UVM being constructed in SystemVerilog is supported by simulators from all ven...
A custom integrated circuit (IC) is sometimes called a full-custom IC. To understand the specific requirements of this type of IC design, we first look at the more typical design process called semi-custom design. Sometimes this process is called applic
LabVIEW provides an intuitive way to design systems and better visually represents the data flow and parallel processes that occur in FPGAs, so you don’t need to learn VHDL and Verilog. LabVIEW FPGA is built for NI hardware. Traditionally complex tasks, like configuring I/O, data transfer, ...

. In the next post in the series, I will discuss using proprietary simulator features like Synopsys VCS xprop to address X optimism. What are your experiences with Verilog X optimism or X pessimism? How do you ensure your simulation is as accurate as possible? Leave a comment below!
Generative AI, or GenAI, is a subset of artificial intelligence technology that creates something new from a dataset of previous examples. It typically relies on complex algorithms and neural networks to simulate human creativity and produce new output. In chip design, GenAI can help explore ...
