Control Synthesis Output with Combinatorial Logic in Procedural Code

While it is tempting to write RTL and let the synthesis tool take over, this isn’t the best way to get the results we want. In this article, we’ll learn how to create complex combinatorial code in ...

Finite State Machine Synthesis In Programmable Circuits

Well, summer has been and gone; and for most of us it was a time to relax and reflect on our working practices. What can we do to achieve better results? And what can we do to break out of the routine ...

Why Your FPGA Synthesis Flow Requires Verification

When you think about it, logic synthesis is a vital but rather intimidating part of modern chip design. This process takes a high-level description of intended functionality, written in an RTL ...

In Adding Control-Logic Support, A High-Level Synthesis Tool Goes Full Chip

High-level synthesis (HLS), or the notion of synthesizing a design into RTL from a higher level of abstraction, has been gaining currency among design teams. For some time now, there have been ...

A Digital Design Flow for Differential ECL High Speed Applications

This paper presents a digital design flow in order to design high performance differential Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL) circuits efficiently. The proposed flow is similar to the ordinary digital CMOS ...
