Layout Blog: Standard Cells Multiple Architectures Standard-cell library offers multiple architecture for best optimisation in performance, power, and area requirements of Digital designs. High Performance Architecture, a High-Density Architecture for varied customer application requirements. In each requirement (power/performance/area), layout approaches will be different to meet the design specifications. Here, we will covering in more common guidelines. Standard Cell Templates: Based

Ways to fix setup violations: Setup violation occurs because of high delay in the data path or due to negative skew. Below are the ways to fix setup violation: Gate sizing Buffering

We hope you had a good understanding of Boolean Expressions which is available @ Boolean Expressions. In this blog, we will discuss on the simplification of boolean functions.

We hope you had a good understanding of Number Systems which is available @ Number Systems. For building hardware, we need logic gates, combinational circuits and sequential circuits which takes input in the form of binary numbers. The main building blocks to design combinational and sequential circuits are logic gates which is explained below.

We hope you had a good understanding of Logic Gates which is available @ Logic Gates. To reduce the logical complexities of any Boolean expression, a set of theorems have been developed which is explained below.

To start with VLSI skill development, we need to enhance our frontend skills. check the ASIC flow at ASICvsFPGA, which describes the frontend and backend flow for the full chip development. Frontend starts with specification gathering and architecture designing from the specifications gathered.

Before starting the discussion on what is ASIC and what is FPGA, we will first learn about the basics that a VLSI enthusiast should know. Moore’s Law: Moore’s law is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles about every two years.

GAA is somehow similar to FinFETs except the conducting channel is surrounded by gate all around. Thus we get better gate controllability over the channel. The channel shape can be square or any other polygon shape.
