Low Power RTL Design

As we move into lower process nodes over the years, reduction of power is becoming a critical factor during chip design along with reduction of area. Low power design techniques at the RTL level can significantly help to manage power requirements. 

Verilog VPP Switch

In this post, we will see how the verilog vpp file can be used to implement different combinations of defines to generate different designs each time.

SPI Protocol Notes

Serial Peripheral Interface or SPI Protocol is one of the simplest serial protocols used for on-chip communication. 

In this post, we will discuss basic concepts of SPI protocol with some short notes.

Memory Addressing and Wrap concepts

Memory Addressing is one of the most fundamental concepts in VLSI and yet, many people get confused when asked simple questions regarding this.

Here, let me cover some important points regarding memory address space, dividing the address space and also basics of wrap concept.

Control and Status Registers (CSR) Introduction

Control and Status Registers (CSR) are basically a collection of registers present in a system which can be read from/written to by the external device. It is more easily accessible than memories and form an important part of CPUs.

RTL Design Engineer Job Role

In this post I will outline all the job roles and responsibilities that come when donning the role of an RTL Design Engineer in a VLSI Industry.
