This circuit board has been my nemesis for months now. From an initial design that was too expensive to be viable, to a full rework in collaboration with some awesome folks from my community, through weeks of battling to create a brand new SDRAM controller in old-school programmable logic and many, many late nights chasing phantom electrical issues, this circuit board has taken me to hell and back. And today, finally, after one destroyed prototype, we got this one working. Perfectly. As an engineer the temptation is to immediately jump in to the next bit, start sorting out the FPGA or extending the software, but that’s the wrong move. It’s important to take a moment to enjoy your successes, and give yourself a moment to recognise your achievements. We forget that too often, so this post is two things: my moment to celebrate my success, and your reminder to make sure you celebrate yours.

I recently finished reading “An ASIC Low Power Primer: Analysis, Techniques and Specification” by Rahesk and Bhasker, and it is an exceptional resource for anyone working in ASIC design, particularly in the area of low power. The book delves deeply into the intricacies of designing low-power ASICs, providing detailed explanations of various power-saving techniques and strategies. I was impressed by how the authors present complex concepts in an accessible and structured manner, making it easy to follow along even if you're new to the field. One of the standout features of the book is its focus on real-world applications. The authors provide numerous case studies and examples that illustrate how low-power design can be implemented effectively in practice. This hands-on approach enhances understanding and gives readers a strong foundation to apply these concepts in their own work. The breadth of topics covered, from power analysis to optimization techniques, makes this book an indispensable reference for engineers at all levels. It also serves as a valuable guide for those involved in the specification and verification phases of ASIC design. In summary, “An ASIC Low Power Primer” is a comprehensive guide that combines theoretical insight with practical application. It's a must-read for anyone seeking to optimize their ASIC designs for power efficiency. Highly recommended!

Chip Designing Series - Episode 1 I've decided sharing a series of posts on chip designing and its components. Today, Let's focus on: Understanding the Basics: Combinational vs Sequential Circuits In digital design, circuits can be classified into two main types: -Combinational Circuits: Where output depends only on current inputs. -Sequential Circuits: Where output depends on current and past inputs (memory). -Think of it like a calculator (combinational) vs a computer (sequential) - one performs calculations instantly, while the other remembers past actions! -What's the key benefit of using sequential circuits in chip designing? Share your thoughts! -Stay tuned for the next episode! #ChipDesigning #DigitalDesign #CombinationalCircuits #SequentialCircuits"

Javelin doesn't use older design techniques like tile arrays and cell libraries since they often require compromises. These methods may reduce development time and costs, but they limit the selection available for creating your ASIC, potentially forcing you to settle for functional blocks that are merely close to your needs rather than exactly meeting them. In other words, every Javelin ASIC is a custom ASIC. Learn more: https://zurl.co/NQvc
