    set up and hold time, transisitor level - explanation needed

    Re: set up and hold time, transisitor level - explanation ne there are two video lectures here (i'm sorry i don't remember which ones, but they are near the end of the course) that explain timing and where setup/hold numbers come from. it is interesting to learn that of course setup and hold...

    interview qstn on comb ckt to remove less time pulse

    i think a generally accepted definition of combinational logic is logic that doesn't maintain state, so a latch wouldn't count.

    shitansh, the question required a combinational circuit.

    Difference between Divide by n counter and clock dividers

    Re: Difference between Divide by n counter and clock divider shwetha100: i get it know. i think you're talking about a ripple counter as in https://web.mit.edu/bunnie/www/xi/seminar/slide3.pdf. i was talking intially about a regular counter (simple fsm type where the current state is the...

    why power switch use a PMOS only

    if you draw an nmos with its source and gate (input high/switch on)connected to Vdd, and adjust the voltage of the drain (the output), you'll see that once the drain gets higher than Vdd - Vth the nmos will turn off. This means the output can never get higher than Vdd - Vth. It's still a 1 if...

    Antenna violation questions (metal jogging, diode insertion)

    Re: Antenna violation questions (metal jogging, diode insert presumable drawbacks i can think of off the top of my head: 1) area: antenna diodes take up area 2) speed: they add a diffusion capacitance to the net they're attached to

    Difference between Divide by n counter and clock dividers

    Re: Difference between Divide by n counter and clock divider shwetha100: what you're describing is called a "shift register" not a counter. you can also divide the clock with the circuit you described, but it will by a %50 div by 6 clock. the best way to figure out how it works is to to draw...

    Difference between Divide by n counter and clock dividers

    Re: Difference between Divide by n counter and clock divider the counter just counts. for instance in your example of counting up to five, you'll need a 3 bit counter, then when it reaches the value 3'b101 some combinational logic will go high (output will be a divide by five clock signal with...

    Antenna violation questions (metal jogging, diode insertion)

    Re: Antenna violation questions (metal jogging, diode insert One reason you might do metal jogging instead of diode insertion is if you're doing an ECO and you're not allowed to make any changes to the base layer and there aren't any spare cell antenna diodes lying around.

    interview question on setup...please solve

    I didn't notice this was a latch the first time through. So it's a latch with a 0 delay inverter between it's output and input. Then the pulsewidth of the transparent level needs to be at least Tclk-q (measured from the opening edge) + Tsetup (measured from the closing edge) and the opaque level...

    Which of those will not affect the function of chip in the long run?

    Re: Physical design qns Ah, RaphyDu is right. I misinterpreted the question.

    How does an electronic faucet work?

    Re: Electronic faucet What is an electronic faucet? Do you mean the kind that turn on when you place your hand under them? That's not really an ASIC question, as it's more to do with proximity sensors. Perhaps ask in the regular electronics forum?

    Verilog Generate statement to declare a `define

    I'm not %100 positive, but i'm pretty sure that compiler directives (like `define) get handled in a preprocessing step analogous to #define macros in C. if that is the case then the preprocessor is only looking for compiler directives and could care less about the other Verilog language...

    Which of those will not affect the function of chip in the long run?

    Re: Physical design qns they're all problems but if by "longrun" you mean "doesn't show up until sometime later" then the answer is EM.
