Routing (electronic design automation)
In electronic design, wire routing, commonly called simply routing, is a step in the design of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and integrated circuits (ICs). It builds on a preceding step, called placement, which determines the location of each active element of an IC or component on a PCB. After placement, the routing step adds wires needed to properly connect the placed components while obeying all design rules for the IC. Together, the placement and routing steps of IC design are known as place and route.
Simulateur logique
Logic simulation is the use of simulation software to predict the behavior of digital circuits and hardware description languages. Simulation can be performed at varying degrees of physical abstraction, such as at the transistor level, gate level, register-transfer level (RTL), electronic system-level (ESL), or behavioral level. Logic simulation may be used as part of the verification process in designing hardware. Simulations have the advantage of providing a familiar look and feel to the user in that it is constructed from the same language and symbols used in design.
Programmable logic array
A programmable logic array (PLA) is a kind of programmable logic device used to implement combinational logic circuits. The PLA has a set of programmable AND gate planes, which link to a set of programmable OR gate planes, which can then be conditionally complemented to produce an output. It has 2N AND gates for N input variables, and for M outputs from PLA, there should be M OR gates, each with programmable inputs from all of the AND gates. This layout allows for many logic functions to be synthesized in the sum of products canonical forms.
C to HDL
C to HDL tools convert C language or C-like computer code into a hardware description language (HDL) such as VHDL or Verilog. The converted code can then be synthesized and translated into a hardware device such as a field-programmable gate array. Compared to software, equivalent designs in hardware consume less power (yielding higher performance per watt) and execute faster with lower latency, more parallelism and higher throughput.
Floorplan (microelectronics)
In electronic design automation, a floorplan of an integrated circuit is a schematic representation of tentative placement of its major functional blocks. In modern electronic design process floorplans are created during the floorplanning design stage, an early stage in the hierarchical approach to integrated circuit design. Depending on the design methodology being followed, the actual definition of a floorplan may differ. Floorplanning takes in some of the geometrical constraints in a design.
Analyse temporelle statique
L’analyse temporelle statique (en anglais : static timing analysis, TSA) est une méthode d'évaluation de la fréquence de fonctionnement d'un circuit intégré. Contrairement à l'analyse dynamique, elle ne nécessite pas l'usage de vecteur de test ni de simulation. Elle repose sur le calcul et l'addition des délais de chaque porte logique élémentaire d'un circuit. L'analyse temporelle statique permet de calculer le plus long chemin logique d'un circuit, le chemin critique.
OpenCores
OpenCores is a community developing digital open-source hardware through electronic design automation (EDA), with a similar ethos to the free software movement. OpenCores hopes to eliminate redundant design work and significantly reduce development costs. A number of companies have been reported as adopting OpenCores IP in chips, or as adjuncts to EDA tools. OpenCores is also sometimes cited as an example of open source in the electronics hardware community. OpenCores has always been a commercially owned organization.
Logic optimization
Logic optimization is a process of finding an equivalent representation of the specified logic circuit under one or more specified constraints. This process is a part of a logic synthesis applied in digital electronics and integrated circuit design. Generally, the circuit is constrained to a minimum chip area meeting a predefined response delay. The goal of logic optimization of a given circuit is to obtain the smallest logic circuit that evaluates to the same values as the original one.
General Purpose Input/Output
thumb|Test de contrôle d'une hélice via les GPIO d'une Arduino et une platine d'expérimentation Les ports GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output, littéralement Entrée-sortie à usage général) sont des ports d'entrées-sorties très utilisés dans le monde des microcontrôleurs, en particulier dans le domaine de l'électronique embarquée, qui ont fait leur apparition au début des années 1980. Elles sont placées sur un circuit électronique afin de communiquer avec des composants électroniques et circuits externes.
