Sometimes good ideas take a while to catch on in engineering practice. The use of in-line assertions to document assumptions and check for problems in RTL code is one such idea. Long ago proposed for ...

This repository captures my learning journey through the RISC-V Reference SoC Tapeout Program organized by VSD & IIT Gandhinagar, covering Verilog RTL design, synthesis, labs, and optimization ...

A multiplexer (MUX) is a fundamental building block in digital electronics used to select one of many input signals and forward the selected input to a single output line. This functionality makes it ...

Breathing LEDs are an attractive adornment on many electronic devices. These days they’re typically controlled by software but of course there were fading effects back in the days of analog too.

As the capacities of today's chips grow and their geometries shrink, specialized clock-generation circuits are necessary to reduce electrical-magnetic emissions. One scheme that is gaining industry ...

This document discusses Random constraint-based verification and explains how random verification can complement the directed verification for the generic designs. In our case this is demonstrated by ...

A key part of any analogue design flow is having models of the components for simulation. Traditional Spice models of basic components such as transistors and capacitors written in C or C++ are ...

You probably couldn’t write a decent novel if you’d never read a novel. Learning to do something often involves studying what other people did before you. One problem with trying to learn new ...
