## What is ASIC & FPGA Design Studio?

Professional HDL Design, Simulation, and Engineering Tools — Right on Your iPhone and iPad

ASIC & FPGA Workbench is a complete mobile toolkit for hardware engineers, FPGA developers, RTL designers, and engineering students. Write HDL code, run simulations, analyze timing, access design references, and solve engineering problems from anywhere.

Whether you're reviewing designs in a meeting, studying for an exam, troubleshooting timing issues, or prototyping an idea on the go, ASIC & FPGA Workbench puts essential digital design tools in your pocket.

HDL Editor & On-Device Simulation

Design and test digital logic directly on your iPhone or iPad.

• Syntax-highlighted Verilog and VHDL editor
• Behavioral HDL simulation on-device
• Interactive waveform viewer
• Signal analysis with HIGH/LOW state indicators
• Quickly verify logic behavior without a desktop workstation

Perfect for rapid design validation, learning, debugging, and reviewing HDL code anywhere.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 4.0 — 2026-06-13

Version 4.0
Quiz Mode — Test your knowledge on any design pattern with interactive multiple-choice questions. Answer cards reveal color-coded feedback and explanations, and a score ring summarizes your results. Access quizzes directly from any pattern page or from the new Bookmarks tab.
Bookmarks Tab — All your saved patterns in one place. Quickly jump back to any bookmarked lesson or launch a quiz without navigating the full curriculum.
Global Search — Find anything in the app instantly. Search across design patterns, HDL reference entries, and Toolbox calculators from a single search bar.
Study Streak — Your dashboard now tracks consecutive days of activity so you can build a consistent learning habit.
Three New Toolbox Calculators:

Dynamic Power Estimator (P = α × C × V² × f)
Setup/Hold Slack Calculator with met/violated status
LUT Utilization Estimator for six major FPGA families

Share HDL Code — Export your editor code directly from the toolbar to Files, Mail, or any app via the iOS share sheet.

Updated the App Store description for improved clarity and accuracy

Better highlights of app features, engineering tools, and learning resources

### 2.0 — 2026-05-18

This is a major update that transforms the app into a professional HDL engineering workbench.
New: Engineering Toolbox
Four on-device calculators built for working hardware designers:

Clock & Timing — clock period, setup slack, and ready-to-paste Vivado/Quartus constraints
Bit Width Advisor — minimum bits for any value or state count, with Verilog and VHDL type output
Pipeline Depth Estimator — pipeline stages needed to close timing at your target frequency
Skew & Jitter Budget — maximum allowable clock skew with configurable design margin

Redesigned Experience

New Workbench home with design activity dashboard and quick-access to all tools
Design Pattern Library replaces the old curriculum — organized by engineering domain with HDL templates you can open directly in the simulator
Waveform Simulator now shows a full signal analysis panel below the waveform with per-signal HIGH/LOW final states and a timing diagram reading guide
HDL Editor landing page explains the simulator workflow when the tab is first opened

Visual

Dark navy-purple background applied consistently across Patterns, Reference, and Workbench tabs
Frosted glass row cards throughout list views
