I haven't learned VHDL, designed a chip, and submitted it to the Google chip shuttle. I've started looking at VHDL, and it's not as knarly as I thought. The chip itself might only be 2 pages of code when I'm done.
Seriously... a grid of cells consisting of a 4bitx4 look up table RAM, with latched outputs, and 2 phased clock. How long could it be?
- dirtybirdnj 3y agoSerious question, how exactly does one get started designing chips? I have a rudimentary understanding of circuits, like wire up LED with resistor to 12v, or making a voltage dividing circuit to not fry things. Is it a density thing? What else makes one go "I have so much stuff, lets put it on a die" I find what you do fascinating. Hardware engineering is modern magic. Yer a wizard mike!
