In this paper, we discuss efficient coding and design styles using verilog. This can beimmensely helpful for any digital designer initiating designs. Here, we address different problems rangingfrom RTL-Gate Level simulation mismatch to race conditions in writing behavioral models. All theseproblems are accompanied by an example to have a better idea, and these can be taken care off if thesecoding guidelines are followed. Discussion of all the techniques is beyond the scope of this paper, however,here we try to cover a few of them.

本文论述了状态机的verilog编码风格,以及不同编码风格的优缺点，Steve Golson's 1994 paper, "State Machine Design Techniques for Verilog and VHDL" [1], is agreat paper on state machine design using Verilog, VHDL and Synopsys tools. Steve's paper alsooffers in-depth background concerning the origin of specific state machine types.This paper, "State Machine Coding Styles for Synthesis," details additional insights into statemachine design including coding style approaches and a few additional tricks.

Abstract: Many digital devices incorporate analog circuits. For instance, microprocessors, applicationspecificintegrated circuits (ASICs), and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) may have internalvoltage references, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) or digital-to-analog converters (DACs). However,there are challenges when you integrate more analog onto a digital design. As with all things in life, inelectronics we must always trade one parameter for another, with the application dictating the propertrade-off of analog function. In this application note, we examine how the demand for economy of spaceand cost pushes analog circuits onto digital substrates, and what design challenges emerge.

Abstract: This tutorial discusses proper printed-circuit board (PCB) grounding for mixed-signal designs. Formost applications a simple method without cuts in the ground plane allows for successful PCB layouts withthis kind of IC. We begin this document with the basics: where the current flows. Later, we describe how toplace components and route signal traces to minimize problems with crosstalk. Finally, we move on toconsider power supply-currents and end by discussing how to extend what we have learned to circuits withmultiple mixed-signal ICs.

A MEMS microphone IC is unique among Analog Devices, Inc., products in that its input is an acoustic pressure wave. For this reason, some specifications included in the data sheets for these parts may not be familiar, or familiar specifications may be applied in unfamiliar ways. This application note explains the specifica-tions and terms found in MEMS microphone data sheets so that the microphone can be appropriately designed into a system.

Most circuit designers are familiar with diode dynamiccharacteristics such as charge storage, voltage dependentcapacitance and reverse recovery time. Less commonlyacknowledged and manufacturer specifi ed is diode forwardturn-on time. This parameter describes the timerequired for a diode to turn on and clamp at its forwardvoltage drop. Historically, this extremely short time, unitsof nanoseconds, has been so small that user and vendoralike have essentially ignored it. It is rarely discussed andalmost never specifi ed. Recently, switching regulator clockrate and transition time have become faster, making diodeturn-on time a critical issue. Increased clock rates aremandated to achieve smaller magnetics size; decreasedtransition times somewhat aid overall effi ciency but areprincipally needed to minimize IC heat rise. At clock speedsbeyond about 1MHz, transition time losses are the primarysource of die heating.

Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit Design I enjoyed reading this book for a number of reasons. One reason is that itaddresses high-speed analog design in the context of microwave issues. This isan advanced-level book, which should follow courses in basic circuits andtransmission lines. Most analog integrated circuit designers in the past workedon applications at low enough frequency that microwave issues did not arise.As a consequence, they were adept at lumped parameter circuits and often notcomfortable with circuits where waves travel in space. However, in order todesign radio frequency (RF) communications integrated circuits (IC) in thegigahertz range, one must deal with transmission lines at chip interfaces andwhere interconnections on chip are far apart. Also, impedance matching isaddressed, which is a topic that arises most often in microwave circuits. In mycareer, there has been a gap in comprehension between analog low-frequencydesigners and microwave designers. Often, similar issues were dealt with in twodifferent languages. Although this book is more firmly based in lumped-elementanalog circuit design, it is nice to see that microwave knowledge is brought inwhere necessary.Too many analog circuit books in the past have concentrated first on thecircuit side rather than on basic theory behind their application in communications.The circuits usually used have evolved through experience, without asatisfying intellectual theme in describing them. Why a given circuit works bestcan be subtle, and often these circuits are chosen only through experience. Forthis reason, I am happy that the book begins first with topics that require anintellectual approach—noise, linearity and filtering, and technology issues. Iam particularly happy with how linearity is introduced (power series). In therest of the book it is then shown, with specific circuits and numerical examples,how linearity and noise issues arise.

EDA （Electronic Design Automation）即“电子设计自动化”，是指以计算机为工作平台，以EDA软件为开发环境，以硬件描述语言为设计语言，以可编程器件PLD为实验载体(包括CPLD、FPGA、EPLD等)，以集成电路芯片为目标器件的电子产品自动化设计过程。“工欲善其事，必先利其器”，因此，EDA工具在电子系统设计中所占的份量越来越高。下面就介绍一些目前较为流行的EDA工具软件。 PLD 及IC设计开发领域的EDA工具，一般至少要包含仿真器（Simulator）、综合器（Synthesizer）和配置器（Place and Routing, P&R）等几个特殊的软件包中的一个或多个，因此这一领域的EDA工具就不包括Protel、PSpice、Ewb等原理图和PCB板设计及电路仿真软件。目前流行的EDA工具软件有两种分类方法：一种是按公司类别进行分类，另一种是按功能进行划分。 若按公司类别分，大体可分两类：一类是EDA 专业软件公司，业内最著名的三家公司是Cadence、Synopsys和Mentor Graphics；另一类是PLD器件厂商为了销售其产品而开发的EDA工具，较著名的公司有Altera、Xilinx、lattice等。前者独立于半导体器件厂商，具有良好的标准化和兼容性，适合于学术研究单位使用，但系统复杂、难于掌握且价格昂贵；后者能针对自己器件的工艺特点作出优化设计，提高资源利用率，降低功耗，改善性能，比较适合产品开发单位使用。 若按功能分，大体可以分为以下三类。 (1) 集成的PLD/FPGA开发环境 由半导体公司提供，基本上可以完成从设计输入（原理图或HDL）→仿真→综合→布线→下载到器件等囊括所有PLD开发流程的所有工作。如Altera公司的MaxplusⅡ、QuartusⅡ，Xilinx公司的ISE，Lattice公司的 ispDesignExpert等。其优势是功能全集成化，可以加快动态调试，缩短开发周期；缺点是在综合和仿真环节与专业的软件相比，都不是非常优秀的。 (2) 综合类 这类软件的功能是对设计输入进行逻辑分析、综合和优化，将硬件描述语句（通常是系统级的行为描述语句）翻译成最基本的与或非门的连接关系（网表），导出给PLD/FPGA厂家的软件进行布局和布线。为了优化结果，在进行较复杂的设计时，基本上都使用这些专业的逻辑综合软件，而不采用厂家提供的集成PLD/FPGA开发工具。如Synplicity公司的Synplify、Synopsys公司的FPGAexpress、FPGA Compiler Ⅱ等。 (3) 仿真类 这类软件的功能是对设计进行模拟仿真，包括布局布线（P&R）前的“功能仿真”（也叫“前仿真”）和P&R后的包含了门延时、线延时等的“时序仿真”（也叫“后仿真”）。复杂一些的设计，一般需要使用这些专业的仿真软件。因为同样的设计输入，专业软件的仿真速度比集成环境的速度快得多。此类软件最著名的要算Model Technology公司的Modelsim，Cadence公司的NC-Verilog/NC-VHDL/NC-SIM等。 以上介绍了一些具代表性的EDA 工具软件。它们在性能上各有所长，有的综合优化能力突出，有的仿真模拟功能强，好在多数工具能相互兼容，具有互操作性。比如Altera公司的 QuartusII集成开发工具，就支持多种第三方的EDA软件，用户可以在QuartusII软件中通过设置直接调用Modelsim和 Synplify进行仿真和综合。 如果设计的硬件系统不是很大，对综合和仿真的要求不是很高，那么可以在一个集成的开发环境中完成整个设计流程。如果要进行复杂系统的设计，则常规的方法是多种EDA工具协调工作，集各家之所长来完成设计流程。
