Q1. CDC technique , and why need of CDC
Ans. 
CDC stands for Clock Domain Crossing technique used in digital design to ensure proper data transfer between different clock domains.
• CDC technique involves synchronizing data signals when crossing between different clock domains to prevent metastability issues.

• It is necessary because different clock domains operate at different frequencies and can lead to data corruption if not properly synchronized.

Q2. How to transfer multiple bits in CDC
Ans. 
Transfer multiple bits in CDC involves using a parallel data transfer method.
• Use parallel data transfer method to transfer multiple bits simultaneously

• Implement a shift register to store and shift out multiple bits

• Utilize multiplexers to select and transfer specific bits

• Consider using a bus architecture for efficient data transfer

• Selection sort selects the smallest element and swaps it with the first element, then selects the second smallest element and swaps it with the second element, and so on.

• Insertion sort builds the final sorted array one item at a time by inserting each

Q1. Details of UVM and System Verilog blocking and non blocking assignment
Ans. 
UVM is a methodology for verifying complex designs using SystemVerilog. Blocking assignments execute sequentially, while non-blocking assignments execute concurrently.
• UVM (Universal Verification Methodology) is a standardized methodology for verifying complex designs in SystemVerilog.

• Blocking assignments in SystemVerilog execute sequentially, meaning the next statement waits for the current statement to finish.

• Non-bloc...read more
