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

All power optimization tools can perform combinational optimization, where there is an opportunity to gate a register clock input, based on the combinational logic that is feeding the register’s data ...

Systems on chip (SoC) and processor design teams are challenged to meet aggressive power, performance and area requirements. As chip complexity grows, teams must verify thousands of lines of code to ...

In this paper, we examine the need for formal sequential equivalence checkingacross pairs of RTL models. We present scenarios that call for modifying thesequential behavior of RTL models while ...

Clock gating is one of the most frequently used techniques in RTL to reduce dynamic power consumption without affecting the functionality of the design. One method involves inserting gating conditions ...
