Best Book for Designing Microarchitecture of Microprocessor Using Verilog HDL

 Hello Dear Readers,

Currently, after succeeding in many topics now I starting to provide technical book reviews which were I have completed and still read books always. So let us start today's book review.

Book Name: Computer Principles and Design in Verilog  HDL


Description: 

Uses Verilog HDL to illustrate computer architecture and microprocessor design, allowing readers to readily simulate and adjust the operation of each design, and thus build industrially relevant skills

  • Introduces the computer principles, computer design, and how to use Verilog HDL (Hardware Description Language) to implement the design
  • Provides the skills for designing processor/arithmetic/cpu chips, including the unique application of Verilog HDL material for CPU (central processing unit) implementation
  • Despite the many books on Verilog and computer architecture and microprocessor design, few, if any, use Verilog as a key tool in helping a student to understand these design techniques
  • A companion website includes color figures, Verilog HDL codes, extra test benches not found in the book, and PDFs of the figures and simulation waveforms for instructors

SDC (Synopsys Design Constraints) contents part 4

Today, we will be discussing the remaining constraints mentioned in the SDC, which pertain to timing exceptions and design rules. This is the final part of the SDC contents. This is going to be interesting, especially with multicycle paths. Take time to read and try to comprehend. 10. set_max_transition     By setting max transition value, our design checks that all ports and pins are meeting the specified limits mentioned in SDC. If these are not satisfied then timing report will give DRVs (design rule violations) in terms of slack. This is specified as               set_max_transition 0.5  UBUF1/A setting maximum limit of 500ps on pin A of Buffer1. 11. set_max_capacitance     This is same as max transition, setting the maximum capacitance value. if our design not meeting this value then violation will occur. This will also reports under design rule violations in terms of slack.     set_max_capacitance 0.7 [all_...
