This repository contains the code and documentation for ECE 5745 Tutorial 5 on the Synopsys ASIC tools. This tutorial discusses the various views that make-up a standard-cell library and then ...

Complex System-on-Chip (SoC) designs are fast becoming commonplace in today’s applications. Hardware designers must overcome many complex and challenging issues regarding cost, time-to-market (TTM), ...

Serial RISC-V (SERV) is a bit-serial CPU which claims to be the world's smallest RISC-V CPU. In the current implementation, even though most of the core components are serialized, Register File and ...

Here at Keysight Oscilloscope HQ, we talk a lot about ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits). But why? Who cares about the internal architecture of a cheap oscilloscope? All that matters is ...

Many embedded system designs are first implemented using FPGAs. This may be for quicker prototyping or to provide a platform for software development. Sometimes, the FPGAs will remain in the design ...

Alchip Technologies, a developer of high-performance ASICs, has formally opened its three-dimensional integrated circuit (3DIC) design services for the latest high-performance ASICs targeting AI and ...

Verification and design engineers like to talk shop and discuss their experiences and visions. But even though engineers sharing stories around the water cooler (whatever form that takes—conferences, ...

At long last we come to the final installment of our four-part series presenting the findings of the Wilson Research Group Functional Verification 2020 study. In this article we discuss verification ...
