The standard approach for testing IC logic is the use of scan chains, with embedded compression as the standard approach for applying scan patterns. Embedded compression enables the same test quality ...

While most of the ASIC industry is focused on solving timing and congestion problems at the netlist level, LSI Logic has developed and deployed an innovative methodology to resolve these physical ...

As chip designers, we take register-transfer-level logical synthesis for granted today. And that's a good thing. That means that we are all comfortable with it. I remember back in the early '90s when ...

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 ...

Given the relative novelty and complexity of RISC-V RTL designs, whether you are buying a commercially supported core or downloading a popular open-source offering, there is the small but non-zero ...

[Tim] noticed recently that a large number of projects recreating discrete logic tend to do so with technology around 70 years old like resistor-transistor logic (RTL) or diode-transistor logic (DTL).

Description: Analysis and design of digital electronic circuits. Resistor logic; diode logic; direct coupled transistor logic; resistor-transistor logic (RTL); diode-transistor logic (ETL); transistor ...
