Finite State Machines (FSMs) have long been a cornerstone of digital system design, and continuing advancements in logic synthesis have enabled increasingly optimised implementations. At its core, FSM ...

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

Well, summer has been and gone; and for most of us it was a time to relax and reflect on our working practices. What can we do to achieve better results? And what can we do to break out of the routine ...

The paper presents an outline of a simple synthesis method of energy-efficient FSMs. The idea consists in using local clock gating to selectively block the clock signal, if no transition of a state of ...

The conversion of a high-level electronic circuit description into a list of logic gates and their interconnections, called the "netlist." Every logic synthesis program understands some subset of ...

Think Global RTL coding style and how you drive today's synthesis tools affect your results. Take advantage of global RTL optimizations by synthesizing big blocks in top-down fashion instead of ...

Electric-field-assisted assembly enables scalable, lithography-free fabrication of logic circuits using 2D semiconductors. It ...

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 ...
