Gate Level Simulation: An Overview

In the realm of digital electronics and integrated circuits, designs are getting bigger and more complex, especially in 40nm technology nodes and below. This leads to longer run times, increased memory needs, and a higher demand for gate level simulation (GLS), including for things like the design for test (DFT) and power efficiency. Gate-level simulation […]
UPF in VLSI: The Smartest Way Forward!

In today’s technology, reducing power consumption is a crucial part of Integrated Circuit (IC) design. Timing and area were the primary characteristics of concern in prior generations of IC design. Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools were created to improve speed while minimizing space. However, as technology advances and the need for more complicated electronic devices grows, power […]
Analysis of Propagation Delay In VLSI CMOS Design

When designing integrated circuits (ICs), electrical engineers must consider propagation delay in VLSI CMOS design. The propagation delay of a logic gate is defined as the time it takes for the effect of a change in input to be evident at the output. In other words, propagation delay is the time it takes for the […]
What are the OOPS Concepts in System Verilog?

SystemVerilog is an object-oriented programming language used to model, design, simulate, test and implement electronic systems. In order to grasp the capabilities of OOPS in SystemVerilog, we must know the concept of objects, class, method, inheritance, encapsulation, abstraction, polymorphism in OOPS. In contrast to procedural programming, OOPS in Verilog organises programmes around objects and data […]
