Overview of computer engineering design. Number systems and Boolean algebra. Logic gates. Design of combinational circuits and simplification. Decoders, multiplexors, adders. Sequential logic and flip ...

The promise of high-level synthesis (HLS) is a powerful one: the ability to generate production-quality register transfer level (RTL) implementations from high-level specification. In other words, HLS ...

Digital blocks contain combinational and sequential circuits. Sequential circuits are the storage cells with outputs that reflect the past sequence of their input values, while output of the ...

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 ...

All power optimization tools can perform combinational optimization, where there is an opportunity to gate a register clock input, based on the combinational logic that is feeding the register’s data ...

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 ...
