In this paper, we present the prompts used to guide ChatGPT4 to produce a synthesizable and functional verilog description for the entirety of a programmable Spiking Neuron Array ASIC. This design flow showcases the current state of using ChatGPT4 for natural language driven hardware design. The AI-generated design was verified in simu-lation using handcrafted testbenches and has been submitted for fabrication in Skywater 130nm through Tiny Tapeout 5 using an open-source EDA flow.","PeriodicalId":518899,"journal":{"name":"2024 Argentine Conference on Electronics (CAE)","volume":"29 5","pages":"154-159"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140530160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
