Hello Dear Readers, Today in this post, I will provide some deep insight about yaml langauge for CAD flow developments with detailed examples. YAML is not a programming language in the same sense as Python, Tcl, C++, or Verilog. It is primarily a human-readable data serialization/configuration language . In semiconductor EDA, that distinction is important because YAML generally describes what a flow should do , while Python/Tcl/Shell and the EDA tools execute the flow . The official YAML specification describes it as a data serialization language designed to be human-friendly and portable across programming languages. For the semiconductor angle, this becomes particularly interesting because YAML can act as a configuration layer between design methodology and EDA implementation . Frameworks such as Hammer explicitly use YAML/JSON configuration and an intermediate representation to standardize information exchanged between design, technology, and tool plugins. 1.

Hello Dear Readers, Today In this post I have designed a carry-lookahead adder design and implemented its parametrized version using Verilog HDL and analysis that design for the desire output. First of all, I have designed CLA based on the theory described in the below video of the Neso Academy. Verilog Code: module add (a, b, c, g, p, s); // adder and g, p input a, b, c; // inputs: a, b, c; output g, p, s; // outputs: g, p, s; assign s=a ^ b ^ c; // output: sum of inputs assign g = a & b; // output: carry generator assign p = a | b; // output: carry propagator endmodule module gp (g,p,c_in,g_out,p_out,c_out); // carry generator, carry propagator input [1:0] g, p; // lower level 2-set of g, p input c_in; // lower level carry_in output g_out,p_out,c_out; // higher level g, p, carry_out assign g_out = g[1] | p[1] & g[0]; // higher level carry generator assign p_out = p[1] & p[0]; // higher level carry propagator assign c_out = g[0] | p[0] & c_in...
