Sometimes good ideas take a while to catch on in engineering practice. The use of in-line assertions to document assumptions and check for problems in RTL code is one such idea. Long ago proposed for ...

As discussed in Part 1, this article proposes four steps to raise the abstraction level of current Verilog HDL designs and provide a phase wise approach to migrate to SystemVerilog. In Part 1 we ...

You don’t usually think of simulating Verilog code — usually for an FPGA — as a visual process. You write a test script colloquially known as a test bench and run your simulation. You might get some ...

System Verilog is considered the current standard for a combined hardware description and verification language, and has been welcomed with open arms since it was approved by IEEE in 2005. Its ...

For high data rate wireless communications they use Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) due to its high spectral efficiency and low computational complexity. It gives the architecture of ...

Designers of electronic hardware describe the behavior and structure of system and circuit designs using hardware description languages (HDLs)—specialized programming languages commonly known as VHDL, ...

As discussed in Part 1, this article proposes four steps to raise the abstraction level of current Verilog HDL designs and provide a phase wise approach to migrate to SystemVerilog. Enhance ...
