    Help required for an Embedded Interview question!!

    If a C program contains no recursion or reentrancy, the call stack is not actually needed.In other words, stack-allocated variables can be turned into global variables (by the compiler) when there is no possibility that more than one instance of a function may be running at a time. Even though...

    Question in Verilog RTL

    Hi, I wrote the following RTL for my I2C project. Dynamic Simulation in Modelsim worked fine for sda_out. But after synthesis I found that sda_out was connected to 1'b1. Also after place and route , the data_in[0] was not connected to any nets. How do I represent the same in another way...

    Finding Hold Time Violation through DC

    No. I just read about them in the Advanced ASIC Chip Synthesis book by Himanshu Bhatnagar. I understand the commands of input and output delay and the concept of hold time, but i dont understand how they report the hold time violation when they are set to 0

    Explanation of Setup and Hold Time

    Hi , I understand the definitions of set up and hold time. I would like to know what exactly happens in a flip-flop at gate level when set up and hold times are violated? Also any useful and detailed explanation of setup and hold time violation with respect to ASIC design will be appreciated.
