Hello Dear Readers, At Texas Instruments Bangalore, there is a vacancy for SoC RTL Design Engineer role. Are you looking for a career at one of the leading semiconductor companies in the world Texas Instruments (TI) is looking for a SoC RTL Design Engineer to join the team of enthusiastic engineers who develops highly complex mixed signal devices for audio applications with industry leading performance. These audio products are truly mixed-signal devices with highly integrated digital circuits such as a DSP core for digital filters and audio signal processing blocks, hardware processing blocks, analog controllers, various serial interfaces (Audio serial interfaces, I2C, SPI) and other digital blocks like clock-generation, registers map, Interrupts etc. This is a great opportunity to be part of an established team that’s continuing to look for growth opportunities, working with worldwide leading customers and developing cutting edge solutions in the areas of consumer electr...
Hello Dear Readers, Today in this post I will provide some techniques for timing optimization in ASIC Design. Timing Optimization Techniques are as follows: 1. Mapping: Mapping converts primitive logic cells found in a netlist to technology-specific logic gates found in the library on the timing critical paths. 2. Unmapping: Unmapping converts the technology-specific logic gates in the netlist to primitive logic gates on the timing critical paths. 3. Pin Swapping : Pin swapping optimization examines the slacks on the inputs of the gates on the worst timing paths and optimizes the timing by swapping nets attached to the input pins, so the net with the least amount of slack is put on the fastest path through the gate without changing the function of the logic. 4. Buffering: Buffers are inserted in the design to drive a load that is too large for a logic cell to efficiently drive. If the net is too long then the net is broken and buffers are inserted to improve the transition...
