Logic Design

LOGIC DESIGN is a critical component in embedded interfaces. When we design logic using components that have been designed to work together, we can concentrate on their logical function. But interfacing often requires us to mix and match components, exposing incompatibilities. In these cases, an understanding of the circuit characteristics of logic is essential to ensuring that the logic works as intended.

RTL Design.

In digital circuit design, Register-transfer level (RTL) is a design abstraction which models a synchronous digital circuit in terms of the flow of digital signals (data) between hardware registers, and the logical operations performed on those signals.

Design Verification.

The design abstraction of a digital circuit is a logical construct which models a digital circuit in terms of the flow of digital signals (data) between hardware registers, and the logical operations performed on those signals. The model is commonly called a register transfer level (RTL) design. In order to test a circuit, the RTL must be verified for every feature

Synthesis.

Synthesis transforms the simple RTL design into a gate-level netlist with all the constraints as specified by the designer. In simple language, Synthesis is a process that converts the abstract form of design to a properly implemented chip in terms of logic gates.
