.🧠 About – The ASIC ArenaThe ASIC Arena is a student-centric platform dedicated to simplifying VLSI design across the full spectrum—from RTL to GDSII. The Arena blends technical rigor with visual clarity, making complex ASIC workflows accessible to learners at every level.Whether you're decoding Verilog syntax, architecting UVM testbenches, or analyzing timing paths in physical design, our goal is to help you build confidence through modular examples, waveform-rich visuals, and automation-ready flows. Every tutorial is crafted with clarity, reusability, and industry relevance in mind. 🎓 Tutorials – Learn by BuildingExplore hands-on tutorials designed to take you from digital logic to timing closure:🔹 Digital Design
