When I was an engineering student, I was fascinated about such subjects as Analog electronics, Logic Design, Microcontrollers etc.I loved the time I spent in my college laboratories, but unfortunately ...

Silicon On Chip (SOC) consists of several logical gates connected to define some functionality. Timing Closure being a well known art to ensure that every single timing path between consecutive ...

When designing a chip, a designer needs to consider many tradeoffs before developing the logic. For example, if a chip is being developed for mobile applications, power becomes a very important factor ...

VHDL and Verilog are hardware description languages, used to describe and define logic circuits. They’re typically used to design ASICs and to program FPGAs, essentially using software to define ...

March 29, 1961 - LOGICAL microcircuits in transistor cans are now being offered by four major companies. Heavy research and production is being pressed by Fairchild Semiconductor Corp., Raytheon Co., ...

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

Logic analyzers and oscilloscopes have coexisted for several decades. The emergence of additional digital inputs on scopes more than 15 years ago gave birth to mixed-signal oscilloscopes (MSOs). Once ...

When learning ladder logic, I was told that some new PLC systems were moving to scripted programming languages. My instructor assured us that we would not need to know anything other than ladder logic ...

The notions of logic synthesis can be traced back to the early 1970s and work conducted at IBM called Logic Synthesis System (LSS). This was a rule-based transformation system. These looked for ...
