Compilation, Elaboration, and Simulation in HDL: A Clear Guide with Examples

Posted on July 21, 2025July 18, 2025 By vlsifacts No Comments on Compilation, Elaboration, and Simulation in HDL: A Clear Guide with Examples

When working with Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) such as Verilog or VHDL, understanding the design flow is crucial for successful digital circuit development. Three fundamental steps in this flow are Compilation, Elaboration, and Simulation. These steps ensure that your HDL code is syntactically correct, logically consistent, and behaves as expected before hardware implementation. In this article, we will…

Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) Fundamentals: What Every Digital Designer Should Know

Posted on July 9, 2025July 18, 2025 By vlsifacts No Comments on Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) Fundamentals: What Every Digital Designer Should Know

In today’s complex digital systems, multiple clock domains are the norm rather than the exception. Whether you’re designing an FPGA, ASIC, or SoC, it’s almost guaranteed that different parts of your chip will operate on different clocks. This creates a critical design challenge known as Clock Domain Crossing (CDC). In this first post of our CDC…

How to Design a Clock Divider in Verilog?

Posted on July 8, 2025July 17, 2025 By vlsifacts No Comments on How to Design a Clock Divider in Verilog?

In digital design, clocks are the heartbeat of your system. But sometimes, the clock frequency you get from your oscillator or PLL is too fast for certain parts of your design. That’s where a clock divider comes in handy. It helps you generate slower clock signals by dividing down a faster input clock. In this blog…
