    FIFO Depth Calculation

    If there is no idle cycle in write, and writes keep happening, and ur read is happening at 1/2 the frequency of write, then ur fifo depth can only be infinite.

    Verification Plan for FIFO

    To answer ur 2nd question, think of this scenario. writing into the FIFO is being done with a burst of 8 and reading is done with bursts of 4 with a delay between 2 reads, which is not a multiple of the clock frequency you are using. In such a scenario, synchronous fifo will be used.

    what is time scale in veilog, defines and why it is used for

    Time scale in verilog @kappajacko First eg. is correct, but i think the second one works out to only 1ns and not 1.0006. Correct me if i'm wrong

    need help: verilog book and tool

    i think some good verilog books are available in the forum itself. i suggest that you use icarus verilog, which is a verilog simulation tool available for free http://www.icarus.com/eda/verilog/

    Is there support for E-language in emacs?

    Hi, do we have support for E-language in emacs? if so, where can i get the modules to be installed? if not, r there any proprietary constraints which hamper ppl from developing it?

    event construct in verilog BFM

    Hi, can somebody tell me how the event construct (-> ) is used in writing BFM in verilog? When does a BFM start to initate transcations to the DUT? i know that some event is generated at the start and based on this, the txns are started, but, haven't come across a verilog code like that. It'll...

    What does LEC stand for?

    Re: LEC? I've a doubt. would it be possible to do "add mapped points" in tcl mode?

    Power disipation comparisson between WC and BC libraries

    from my understanding, i think it would be the other way around with WC having more power dissipation than BC.

    Problem with no reset in sections of RTL

    Hi all, I'm facing a problem w.r.t reset in my design, or rather, the lack of it. some sections of RTL, which are synchronous sequential blocks, don't have any reset at all and solidify reports these as errors. Although this doesn't affect my design in anyway, since the regression passes with...

    What are the steps to overcome the timing violations during STA using PT?

    STA doubt PT, as far as i know, can't fix the timing violations. but, hold violations are fixed using buffers in the P&R stage, or by adding an additional flop(making sure functionality is met) in the RTL stage. For setup violation, either better constraints or methods such as inserting...

    What are the job requirements for a front-end ASIC engineer?

    ASIC engg for a fresher MTech student, just the digital basics and verilog/vhdl will do for front end

    hello which is better nmos or pmos or coms...

    some of the points which i can think of : 1. NMOS can produce a strong 0, but only weak 1(vice versa for PMOS). CMOS can produce strong 1 and a strong 0,i.e. output swings from rail-to-rail. 2. Static power dissipation in NMOS was a problem, CMOS was preferred to NMOS because of this. 3. has...

    computing logical effort

    Hi, i've a basic question on logical effort. if we compute the ratio of sum of capacitances of the gate to an ideal gate (inverter), we get the logical effort. if 2-input NAND gate has 2 NMOS in series, 2 PMOS in parallel, then, shouldn't the total capacitance of gate be 5 ? and the LE should...
