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.

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“電子設計自動化”，是指以計算機為工作平臺，以EDA軟件為開發環境，以硬件描述語言為設計語言，以可編程器件PLD為實驗載體(包括CPLD、FPGA、EPLD等)，以集成電路芯片為目標器件的電子產品自動化設計過程。“工欲善其事，必先利其器”，因此，EDA工具在電子系統設計中所占的份量越來越高。下面就介紹一些目前較為流行的EDA工具軟件。 PLD 及IC設計開發領域的EDA工具，一般至少要包含仿真器（Simulator）、綜合器（Synthesizer）和配置器（Place and Routing, P&R）等幾個特殊的軟件包中的一個或多個，因此這一領域的EDA工具就不包括Protel、PSpice、Ewb等原理圖和PCB板設計及電路仿真軟件。目前流行的EDA工具軟件有兩種分類方法：一種是按公司類別進行分類，另一種是按功能進行劃分。 若按公司類別分，大體可分兩類：一類是EDA 專業軟件公司，業內最著名的三家公司是Cadence、Synopsys和Mentor Graphics；另一類是PLD器件廠商為了銷售其產品而開發的EDA工具，較著名的公司有Altera、Xilinx、lattice等。前者獨立于半導體器件廠商，具有良好的標準化和兼容性，適合于學術研究單位使用，但系統復雜、難于掌握且價格昂貴；后者能針對自己器件的工藝特點作出優化設計，提高資源利用率，降低功耗，改善性能，比較適合產品開發單位使用。 若按功能分，大體可以分為以下三類。 (1) 集成的PLD/FPGA開發環境 由半導體公司提供，基本上可以完成從設計輸入（原理圖或HDL）→仿真→綜合→布線→下載到器件等囊括所有PLD開發流程的所有工作。如Altera公司的MaxplusⅡ、QuartusⅡ，Xilinx公司的ISE，Lattice公司的 ispDesignExpert等。其優勢是功能全集成化，可以加快動態調試，縮短開發周期；缺點是在綜合和仿真環節與專業的軟件相比，都不是非常優秀的。 (2) 綜合類 這類軟件的功能是對設計輸入進行邏輯分析、綜合和優化，將硬件描述語句（通常是系統級的行為描述語句）翻譯成最基本的與或非門的連接關系（網表），導出給PLD/FPGA廠家的軟件進行布局和布線。為了優化結果，在進行較復雜的設計時，基本上都使用這些專業的邏輯綜合軟件，而不采用廠家提供的集成PLD/FPGA開發工具。如Synplicity公司的Synplify、Synopsys公司的FPGAexpress、FPGA Compiler Ⅱ等。 (3) 仿真類 這類軟件的功能是對設計進行模擬仿真，包括布局布線（P&R）前的“功能仿真”（也叫“前仿真”）和P&R后的包含了門延時、線延時等的“時序仿真”（也叫“后仿真”）。復雜一些的設計，一般需要使用這些專業的仿真軟件。因為同樣的設計輸入，專業軟件的仿真速度比集成環境的速度快得多。此類軟件最著名的要算Model Technology公司的Modelsim，Cadence公司的NC-Verilog/NC-VHDL/NC-SIM等。 以上介紹了一些具代表性的EDA 工具軟件。它們在性能上各有所長，有的綜合優化能力突出，有的仿真模擬功能強，好在多數工具能相互兼容，具有互操作性。比如Altera公司的 QuartusII集成開發工具，就支持多種第三方的EDA軟件，用戶可以在QuartusII軟件中通過設置直接調用Modelsim和 Synplify進行仿真和綜合。 如果設計的硬件系統不是很大，對綜合和仿真的要求不是很高，那么可以在一個集成的開發環境中完成整個設計流程。如果要進行復雜系統的設計，則常規的方法是多種EDA工具協調工作，集各家之所長來完成設計流程。
