Strategies for EDA tool usage will change course as gate levels, and ultimately costs, rise in programmable logic designs. For designs below 25,000 gates, the basic tools from logic vendors and many ...

About 15 years ago, the assumption in the EDA industry was that system design would be inevitable. The transition from gate-level design to a new entry point at the register transfer level (RTL) ...

[Tim] noticed recently that a large number of projects recreating discrete logic tend to do so with technology around 70 years old like resistor-transistor logic (RTL) or diode-transistor logic (DTL).

Imagine a potential situation in a busy operating room: a laser system still has a wireless footswitch paired to it and sitting elsewhere, while a wired footswitch is also plugged into the same system ...

Innovative design continues to exploit the power of neural and related techniques. Always more popular with Japanese and Pacific Rim consumer-product designers, fuzzy logic did not catch on to the ...
