VLSI Logic Design and HDL

Abstract

Translate Article

This chapter discusses different VLSI design techniques highlighting coding style for synthesis. It covers important design concepts like synchronous and asynchronous circuits, clock and reset circuits, clock domain crossovers, speed matching, and so on. In addition, it deals with behavioral modelling, structural modelling, standard cell libraries, and different file formats generated during design phases with SOC design context. The reader is advised to refer VLSI logic design books (A Verilog HDL primer, J Bhaskar; VHDL primer Jayaram Bhaskar, A System Verilog primer, J Bhaskar) for fundamental understanding of VLSI design and books on hardware description languages like Verilog and VHDL for clear understanding and mastering them.
