[Mark] starts a post from a bit ago with: “… maybe you have also heard that SystemVerilog is simply an extension of Verilog, focused on testing and verification.” This is both true and false, ...

SystemVerilog was developed as an extension to the widely used Verilog hardware description language. In addition to new design constructs that bring the language to a higher level of abstraction, it ...

In an EDA Views column posted to EEdesign April 4, 2003, Mitch Weaver of Cadence Design Systems wrote of the need to extend the Verilog standard to support ever-increasing design sizes. Mr. Weaver ...

Standards, and their enhancement, are a sign of a technology's maturation. For the Verilog hardware description language (HDL), the latest stage in maturation is SystemVerilog 3.0, which has been ...

A sure sign that a design language is making its way into the mainstream is the appearance of a spate of tools supporting it. For SystemVerilog devotees, the latest good news is the commercial ...

FIFO (First In First Out) is a buffer that stores data in a way that data stored first comes out of the buffer first. Asynchronous FIFO is most widely used in the System-on-Chip (SoC) designs for data ...
