I've been working on a register design in multiplier more than 2 days, problem still unsolved sad.gif
M0 (from bit 0 to 6)

Either INIT, MUL0 or MUL1 signal can enable the register.

During INIT state, the register is reset to '0'.

During MUL0 or MUL1 state,
it shifts right by 1-bit when M20 = 0.
it accepts AO input when M20 = 1.
Anyone knows the problem? Thanx !

hi there. i'm new here. degree for electronics. now working but my project now mostly in power electronics sweat.gif

i have been reading ur code and the schematic.

can u explain more details what u want to achieve and what problem u encountered? seems like from the code and schematic is nth wrong in ur explanation above.

What exactly do you want to know about it?
*
Some informations about it regarding like how to develop the driver on the PC side. I think MCU side should not be a problem.

Do u have any good reference website or books regarding USB interface. Maybe some applications examples will help.

Thanks

Hi, i consider computer engineering course from TARC...currently mess up v the design tools...like truth table , state machine, K-map, transition map...other 4got dy...what else har??

hi there. u are microelectronics student there? i also graduate there.

what u want to know about?

Today js changed my 8-bit adder's VHDL from structural coding to behavioral coding. It is Sooooo much faster with behavioral and save a lot of troubles portmapping tongue.gif

Well, behavioral is just 2.4ns (including the buffer register at the adder output), but the structural circuit without the buffer register already have 8.1ns delay and a lot of glitches.
*
yah, structural modelling is crap...

behavioral modelling is much mroe easier...u use Generic to do?

I've tried various methods, behavioral still the best tongue.gif

Human optimization lost to compiler optimization, damnit laugh.gif

Left 14 days before report submission for my CPU. I hate documentation !! cry.gif  cry.gif

Documentation is something that engineer hate but cannot avoid..lol tongue.gif

like now i suffer doin my report for my project...i also lazy to do but if not, my boss would kill me laugh.gif

btw, i use Xilinx Spartan XC3000 last time...old FPGA biggrin.gif

ahah, it's called the computer engineering thread, sure more on digital stuff la tongue.gif

wanna talk about digital signal processing? DFT and FFT anyone?

X10A Freedom: Altera questions arent that hard. If u hv done layouting b4, it should b easy for u. I've tried and confident but end up not called for interview, js bcoz I'm not 1st class student sad.gif
*
i used to like DFT and FFT when in college but since now hardly can use these kind of skill..so forget oledi..lolz

now my skill is more towards embedded system and power related design..lolz

yah, Altera interview questions are quite easy for fresh grad but not me, coz forget many things oledi sweat.gif ... but beware they will trick u..lolz

well, when i was attempting the questions, i haven't really learn layouts in detail yet(they only gave me like few days just to prepare doh.gif)
after they processed the answers for the questions(which took quite long), i've mostly done on my layout, but too bad, i wasn't call up for the interview(though some of my classmates did but only 2-3 person in total was really confirmed after the interview)
but my lect was telling me that the ic design department might want to go for a 2nd round recruitment.......so i'm hoping that this time, i'm well prepare for it

get to hear from my interviewver about ic design group. lol

i'm applying application engineer

hmm... where r u working now ar?
well, my answer is same as my fren (we sit side by side n compare la), but he was called not me, moreover we apply for the same job position sad.gif
so i suspect is my CGPA ler, he is way higher than me tongue.gif
U mean ASIC? AFAIK, they only want experience engineer or fresh grad in this kinda field, maybe u can la since u did layouting biggrin.gif

Japanese MNC, last time very famous the name but after merge with some other Jap MNC, then i guess u will never heard it before..lol

Altera do filter out the applicant based on CGPA...sad..

hey guys can i join here?
i'm taking CE at UTAR..i'm just wondering does UTAR have the capability to conduct their IT courses well..

i heard that KBU has the best IT courses offered..isit?

wat year? my 2 previous lecturers from TARC had transfer to UTAR..

can anyone tell me more about computer engineering..isit a good choice? when i tell others i'm taking IT..they will give comment like canot find job la..very hard to work la or what so ever..

what does this course cover us? if from my reading on the info given by utar,is about hardware design as major..and minor software programing/design..
means we can make next gen. of mobo/graphic card/proc or whatsoever regarding pc right? anyone can correct me?
*
huh, u choose oledi but regret? shocking.gif

both course have their own advantages, for IT, if u are not good in programming, u will die..even u are good in study is not enuf, u must know various of programming language and if possible learn AI. For the FYP, do somethings grand like AI. For eg my fren, his CGPA is not good but his FYP is good, so his lecturer recommend him to intel and his salary now even higher than me sweat.gif

but some of my IT frens that "study to score" only, will not get good job and pay..they will starting off low pay.

CE is more on analogue and digital circuit design. U will study microprocessor, microcontroller and embedded system as well...for progamming, it will be focus more on low level programming such as assembly language or HDL.

U still will learn C but not those GUI and scripting thingy.

welcome [ r u g a ]. biggrin.gif
ERmm.. anyone knows how to extract certain bit from 'add' function?

Let's say,

SIGNAL a,b : STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (15 DOWNTO 0);
SIGNAL reg : STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (7 DOWNTO 0);

reg <= (a + b) from 15 downto 8.

What i mean is i need info from the added result A+B (bit 8 to bit 15) into reg. How can I actually do it in 1 clock only?

Thanx
*
reg must in 8 bit by definition? highlighted is not the actual syntax right? no "from 15 downto 8" right?

can i know in 1 clock means that must in 1 instruction line only?

sorry, too long din do vhdl oledi..

is it possible to shift a and b bits 1st before adding? sweat.gif

i think there is no such things as negative resistance.

if it really exist, i think Ohm's Law or other related laws won't hold anymore..lol

i know a company that doing PCB, my company always outsource to them but i think the price should be high for a student.

how many layers are ur pcb? how about develop and etch it urself.

Long time didn't reporting in.

Having not much chances to touch electonics things after chg job, more towards software engineering and RTOS stuff. sad.gif

@lgh > from ur posts, i'm quite sure u are working in ag***** under FPGA team.

Recently i'm going interview with the company and yeah, they do like to ask Nyquist Theorem stuff. luckily i still remember it sweat.gif but i had forget much about aliasing (i can imagine in my head but just dunno how to explain it). I hope u are not the 1 who interview me, LOL

Speaking of Nyquist, i remembered the manager did ask me a question but not sure what is the answer. The questiom goes like this, let say i have an ADC which need to sample signal with max 500MHz, so with Nyquist theorem, we need min sampling freq of 1GHz.

But let say now my signal that goes into the ADC normally at 100MHz for example and we did know 1GHz sampling is quite fast. What is the way we can slow down the output data without data loss? Let say now i want to receive my sampling data at 500MHz?

visual basic is more user-friendly coz it's object oriented programming while C++ requires more complicated coding coz it's source code oriented programming

yep, VB is not object oriented prog. and more ppl move to C# rather than VB.

gonna chg job soon from software to hardware, lol 180 degree U-turn, need to revise back my hardware skills.
