Introduction to Digital Electronics with
SystemVerilog & Testbench
Welcome to your journey into Digital Electronics—the foundation of all modern VLSI and FPGA designs. In this series, we’ll explore how simple logic gates and Boolean expressions evolve into synthesizable RTL modules, and how you can verify them rigorously using SystemVerilog testbenches. By combining clear conceptual explanations, hands-on SV code examples, and comprehensive simulation benches, you’ll gain the skills to confidently translate digital theory into real hardware.
In each tutorial you’ll find:
- Concept Overview:A concise look at the digital-logic principle (e.g., encoders, multiplexers, FSMs).
- SystemVerilog Module:Synthesizable RTL code illustrating the design pattern in under 30 lines.
- Testbench Implementation:A self-checking SV testbench using randomization and assertions to validate every functional corner case.
Throughout this series, our goal is to build your RTL design and verification muscle in parallel. You’ll learn not only how to write clean, parameterized SystemVerilog modules, but also why each testbench construct (clocks, resets, stimulus generation, checks) matters for turning code into reliable silicon. Let’s get started—your first module awaits!
