Industrial RTL Design for System of Chip (SoC)

Industrial RTL Design for System of Chip (SoC)

A Complete Guide to Designing, Verifying, and Implementing Production-Ready Digital Systems. (e-Book)

In today’s fast-moving semiconductor industry, successful SoC development requires far more than clean RTL code. Engineers must understand the entire RTL-to-silicon journey, balance performance, power, and area, and collaborate across architecture, verification, and physical design teams.

Industrial RTL Design for System of Chip (SoC) is a practical, industry-driven guide written for engineers who want to design production-ready SoCs using proven methodologies from real silicon programs. Please note that this product is an e-book only. No printed (physical) copy is included.

Why This Book?

Unlike academic or tool-centric books, this guide focuses on how SoCs are actually built in industry with real constraints, real trade-offs, and real deadlines.

✔ Learn what works in production environments

✔ Avoid common RTL and verification pitfalls that cause costly re-spins

✔ Gain system-level thinking beyond isolated RTL blocks

What You’ll Learn

✔ RTL Foundations: Mastering the hardware mindset (concurrency vs. sequentiality) and the abstraction hierarchy from behavioral to gate level.

✔ Synthesizable Verilog: Writing clean, synthesis-ready code for combinational logic, arithmetic circuits, and sequential elements like flip-flops and counters.

✔ FSM Design: Implementing robust Finite State Machines using the industry-standard "Three-Block" coding style (State, Next-State, and Output logic).

✔ Advanced Architectures: Designing complex systems including Register Files, SRAM/Dual-Port Memory interfacing, and Data Path vs. Control Path partitioning.

✔ Timing & CDC: Managing setup/hold times, avoiding gated clock pitfalls, and resolving Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) issues using synchronizers and Async FIFOs.

✔ Pipelining & Performance: Improving throughput and reducing latency while handling structural, data, and control hazards.

✔ Verification & Synthesis: Building self-checking testbenches in SystemVerilog and navigating the logic synthesis flow from RTL to optimized gate-level netlists.

✔ Practical Implementation: Applying design principles to real-world examples, such as a Traffic Light Controller and a UART Transmitter.
