Brain, you are forcing Max and others to use their brains.

Verification and Validation
Bailey, verification and validation are the two important steps in testing any projects, which is used to happen at the end of the project. Now we are following the manual/automated verification process at the end of each stage for early detection of errors/bugs.

Re: Quick Question
There is a difference. You dont have to live with me! Of course she is right!!!! In fact we should get our wives to design all the products, then we wouldn't need testbenches - I will get myself into a lot of trouble soon.

Re: Quick Question
@Brian: "Yes Max - you are 100% correct."


I can't hear that enough :-)

I certainly never hear it from my wife :-(

Re: Quick Question
Ah Max. I will now purposely do things in strange ways to make you think differently. If things are always presented in the same way, you get too comfortable with it and stop thinking. And I guess I should stop calling it a testbench. How archane and inaccurate!

Re: Quick Question
Yes Max - you are 100% correct. They both communicate with each other and so shuld have been bidirectional. If anything you could claim that most designs are incapable of doing anything without first being stimulated by the testbench and thus if the arrow were in a single direction it should be from testbench to design, but a testbench that didn't look at anything coming from the design is a BAD testbench.

Re: Quick Question
@Brian -- as a follow-on to my previous question -- I always draw this sort of thing with the testbench on top ... I don't know why, but it seems it "should" be on top (or on the left) ... what do you think?

Quick Question
Hi Brian -- re your last diagram, the arrow is pointing from the computation block to the testbench. Shouldnl tthsi be (a) the other way round or (b) bidirectional?

Would you class these as adages, aphorisms, axioms, dictums, epigrams, maxims, precepts, saws, truisms, or... well, what?
Here we discover how to use the XADC (Xilinx Analog-to-Digital Convertor) in the Zynq All Programmable SoC to read the chip's internal temperature and voltage parameters and output them over an RS-232 link.
When extreme thermal cycling causes circuit boards and chip packages and the silicon die in the packages to expand and contract at different rates, problems may ensue.
In part 3 of this epic tale we consider how we might use tri-state buffers, leading up to the legendary bi-directional buffer.
Digital engineers are often confused among operational amplifiers, differential amplifiers, and instrumentation amplifiers; this is exacerbated by the fact that their circuit symbols can be similar.
