Abstract:

In the semiconductor industry, a crucial phase of the design process involves utilizing software simulation to model circuits and schematics before proceeding to manufacturing. Verilog, a widely adopted Hardware Description Language (HDL) in digital circuit design and electronic system development, serves as a crucial tool for this purpose. It allows designers to simulate the behavior of digital circuits before their physical implementation in hardware. This project introduces a sequence of digital design projects utilizing Verilog and Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Enhancing students’ proficiency in Verilog is expected to significantly improve their capabilities in chip design, aligning their skills with industry standards and practices.
