Early top-down design planning is an important step to drive RTL synthesis and to generate a gate-level netlist that is used to further refine the design plan. A characteristic of the continuous ...

The challenge of mixed-signal design is different in character from the challenge of digital design. In digital design, the overwhelming challenge stems from the large size of the circuits. At the ...

Our team moved quickly to adopt and integrate a top-down, mixed-signal and mixed-level design methodology into our established bottom-up approach. Since many modules in this particular chip design ...

Many of these algorithms are readily expressed in high-level languages, such as C and C++, requiring the designer to translate this high-level algorithm to RTL for implementation in an FPGA. This ...
