Which One is Good ? VLSI Desgin Front-End or Back-End

Image
Introduction:            Frontend engineering and backend engineering are the two primary subfields of competence in the Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) industry. Even while both are essential to the creation of cutting-edge semiconductors, deciding which route to go can be difficult. We will explore the differences between VLSI frontend and backend engineering in this blog article, allowing you to make an educated choice. Exploring Frontend Engineering : 1. Design and Architecture: Frontend engineers concentrate on system-level design, microarchitecture, and high-level synthesis in the early phases of chip design. To specify chip capabilities, performance requirements, and power limitations, they collaborate closely with system architects. 2. RTL Design:  When designing a chip at the register transfer level (RTL), the architectural requirements are translated into a hardware description language (HDL), such as Verilog or VHDL. Coding and optimisi...

Which One is Good? Embedded System Engineer vs. VLSI Design Engineer

 This is the most frequent query from ECE students.        Electronics is basically achieved by Circuits. Discrete and integrated circuits are two categories of circuits. If some ready-made components are available and we are unable to fit everything into an IC, we employ them to create discrete electronic circuits.  Three are three varieties of ICs. ASIC   - Fixed Circuit fabricated inside Silicon FPGA  - Flexible Circuit (Configurable) fabricated inside Silicon  µP       - Flexible Circuit (Programmable) fabricated inside Silicon VLSI refers to the implementation of ASIC and FPGA, whereas Embedded refers to the implementation of µP. Both Embedded System Engineering and VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) Design Engineering are highly specialized fields within the broader electrical and communication engineering domain. Each profession provides a variety of job prospects and has its own distinct benefits.
