Breathing LED Done With Raw Logic Synthesized From A Verilog Design

Breathing LEDs are an attractive adornment on many electronic devices. These days they’re typically controlled by software but of course there were fading effects back in the days of analog too.

A brief history of logic synthesis

The notions of logic synthesis can be traced back to the early 1970s and work conducted at IBM called Logic Synthesis System (LSS). This was a rule-based transformation system. These looked for ...

Pitfalls for Logical Equivalence Check

The VLSI design cycle is partitioned into two phases i.e. front-end and back-end phases of the complete SoC design cycle. While at front-end, most of the architectural specifications, coding and ...

Verilog HDL And Its Ancestors And Descendants

This paper describes the history of the Verilog hardware description language (HDL), including its influential predecessors and successors. Since its creation in 1984 and first sale in 1985, Verilog ...
