// SCORE BREAKDOWN
Well-crafted educational tool for specialized niche (ASIC/FPGA design) with structured curriculum and clear utility for engineers.
// ABOUT
Master digital hardware design — from your first flip-flop to full chip tape-out. ASIC & FPGA Design Companion is a structured learning app for electrical engineers, CS students, and hardware enthusiasts who want to go deep on RTL design, synthesis, and silicon. Whether you're picking up Verilog for the first time or brushing up on VHDL timing constraints before a job interview, every tool you need is in one place. LEARN Work through a curated curriculum organized into focused modules — Digital Logic Fundamentals, Verilog HDL, VHDL, RTL Design Patterns, FPGA Implementation, ASIC Design Flow, Verification & Simulation, and Timing & Constraints. Each lesson includes clear explanations, annotated code examples, and quizzes to reinforce what you've learned. Track your progress across every module and pick up exactly where you left off. SIMULATE Write Verilog or VHDL directly in the built-in HDL editor and run a behavioral waveform simulation on-device — no Vivado, no ModelSim, no laptop required. Load a ready-made example or type your own design, tap Simulate, and inspect the resulting waveforms signal by signal. A built-in results panel explains each signal's final state and walks you through how to read the diagram. REFERENCE A full searchable HDL reference covers data types, operators, statements, language constructs, FPGA-specific primitives, ASIC concepts, and a glossary — filterable by category and language. Tap any entry for syntax, a code example, and a plain-English explanation. PROJECTS Eight hands-on projects — 4-bit counter, ALU, UART transmitter, SPI master, VGA controller, PWM generator, I²C controller, and a pipelined CPU — each with full Verilog and VHDL source, a step-by-step build guide, and waveform annotations so you understand exactly what the simulation is showing you. GUIDE New to the app? The interactive Guide tab walks you through the full learning path, explains each tab, and maps out the progression from beginner to tape-out-ready engineer. WHO IS THIS FOR? Electrical engineering and computer engineering students Software engineers moving into hardware or embedded systems FPGA hobbyists working with Xilinx, Intel/Altera, or Lattice boards Professionals preparing for RTL design or verification interviews Anyone studying for a digital design exam No prior hardware experience required for the beginner modules. Advanced modules assume comfort with basic digital logic.
