digital design basics

 VLSI Technologies are now maturing with a current emphasis on submicron structures and sophisticated applications combining digital and analog circuits on a single chip.

here, we have 

1. digital :

digital means mainly,

switching circuits: because the voltage levels in a digital circuit are assumed to be switched from one value to another.

logic circuits: Each type of digital circuit obey a certain set of logic rules.

Digital circuits are one in which the voltage levels assume a finite number of the distance value.


2. Analog:

it was a continuously variable signal, analog circuits are those in which voltages and currents vary continuously through the given range. That can make infinite values within the specified range.

Started from :

1. Number system 

2. Grey coding

3. Complement's

4. Error detecting and decoding

5. Hamming code

6. Logic gates

7. Boolean algebra

8. K-maps 

9. Inverter

Number System:

It's a combination of different collections of numbers and it satisfies the same kind of requirements.

example: Decimal number systems

               Binary number systems



 1. Binary number system :

In a binary number (or base two) system, we use only two digits: 0 and 1






 2. decimal number system :

  A digital system can understand a positional number system only where there are a few symbols called digits and these symbols represent different values depending on the position they occupy in the number.


3. octal number system :

It is called the base 8 number system and It uses eight digits, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7.
.
example :

125708   = ((1 × 84) + (2 × 83) + (5 × 82) + (7 × 81) + (0 × 80))10

               = 549610

4. hexadecimal number system :

It is called the base 16 number system.It uses 10 digits and 6 letters, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F.

19FDE16   = ((1 × 164) + (9 × 163) + (F × 162) + (D × 161) + (E × 160))10
                  = (65536 + 36864 + 3840 + 208 + 14)10    =10646210

Multiple Voltage Design

MODERN TECHNIQUES                                                      Modern IC designs are heavily influenced by the need to minimize power consumption, particularly in the consumer electronics market. The devices' warmth, battery life, and the time it takes to switch on and off the functions of handheld devices are currently being reformed. Therefore, it becomes crucial to implement best practices in chip design to help reduce power consumption in SoCs (System on Chip). The power management of SoCs and RTL designs has a significant impact on the silicon's performance. Power-aware designs are used by industry to achieve power statistics. This blog focuses on multi-voltage design terms that can be used to assess the power performance of silicon in HDL coding. These facilitate the understanding of design parameters while implementing power-consciou...
