X-Propagation in VLSI

X-propagation in VLSI refers to the propagation of the ‘X’ value, which represents an unknown logic value, through different logic gates in a VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) circuit. When a simulator is unable to determine whether a logic value should be a ‘0’ or a ‘1’, it assigns an ‘X’ value. This can lead […]

What is a black-box module and why do we need them?

A black-box is a module in which only the input and output ports of module is available for the designers to connect and integrate with the other modules: The below is an example of a 2 to 1 multiplexer black-box module: /////////////—————–////////////////////module mux2_1 (input a,input b,input sel,output reg out); endmodule/////////////////————-///////////////// In the above Verilog code

Types of Processors in VLSI

While CPUs (Central Processing Units) are the most commonly used processors in computers and servers, there are alternative processor architectures and competitors in the market. Here are some notable alternatives: CPU Series:- 1. GPUs (Graphics Processing Units): Graphics cards, or GPUs, are primarily designed for rendering graphics and accelerating video processing. However, their parallel computing capabilities have
