Driving Intelligence To The IoT Edge Invents A New Breed Of Designers
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 02 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 0

A new breed of designers has arrived that is leveraging inexpensive sensors to build the intelligent systems at the edge of the Internet of Things (IoT). These systems play in every space: from devices on the body, vehicles, the workplace, across the land, sea, air, and the outer reaches of space. It’s no surprise that this new breed of designers is taking full advantage of advanced sensing t... » read more

Is This a Manufacturing Revolution?
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 26 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

In this eighth and final part of this series, we take a look at the risk that changes bring to quality control and test, and we discuss the potential effects on the future of moving to Industry 4.0. To read more, click here. » read more

A Novel Approach To Dummy Fill For Analog Designs Using Calibre SmartFill
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 19 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

With small geometry silicon processes, additional nonfunctional geometric structures are required to maintain layer planarity during the chemical/mechanical polishing (CMP) phase of processing. The automated layout flows to generate such geometries tend to be designed primarily for large system on chip (SOC) digital designs. When applied to mixed-signal layouts, these flows have been seen to ha... » read more

Five Steps To Quality CDC Verification
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 12 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

With the number of clock domains increasing in today's complex ASIC designs, the ability to thoroughly verify clock domain crossings (CDC) has become even more important. As in functional verification, to ensure CDC issues are thoroughly verified, a comprehensive test plan is essential. Based on our experience working with many customers, we developed a five-step planning process for CDC verifi... » read more

Optimize Your Software Stack For Industrial Internet Of Things Devices
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 06 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

Mentor Graphics, Raima, and Datalight have collaborated to define and measure data management for IIoT edge devices. This paper examines the benefits that come from optimizing the software components of the data storage stack in terms of performance, reliability and device lifetime. According to Accenture, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) will help companies boost revenues by increas... » read more

Analog Fault Simulation Challenges And Solutions
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 28 Sep, 2016 - Comments: 0

The test time for digital circuit blocks in ICs has greatly decreased in the last 20 years, thanks to scan-based design-for-test (DFT), automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) tools, and scan compression. These technologies have greatly reduced the number of test vectors applied by automatic test equipment (ATE) while maximizing the coverage of a wide range of defect types. But for analog c... » read more

Re-Coloring ECO Changes With Calibre Multi-Patterning
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 21 Sep, 2016 - Comments: 0

Engineering change orders (ECOs) can wreak havoc on multi-patterning (MP) coloring (and time to market) if not dealt with quickly and efficiently. Design teams working on MP designs need a complete ECO enablement solution, before recoloring issues consume resources and destroy schedules. The Calibre Multi-Patterning tool provides smart, automated support for recoloring designs after ECO impleme... » read more

Mentor Graphics And IXIA De-Risk Networking SoC Verification
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 07 Sep, 2016 - Comments: 0

The Veloce VN App bridges the gap between pre-silicon verification and post-silicon validation of networking designs by integrating the industry-leading IXIA virtual networking test solution with the Veloce emulation platform. Networking design teams can now run the same tests in simulation, emulation and the lab. The Veloce VN App supports high performance and offers debug advantage of pre-sil... » read more

UI Development And Graphics Strategies For Today’s Embedded Devices: Performance Matters!
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 24 Aug, 2016 - Comments: 0

The importance of getting your interactive graphical user interface (UI) right for the end user is absolutely critical to the success of any project. By understanding the most common occurring issues, or issues cited as the most frustrating/degrading experiences in the UI experience, and by taking a holistic view of the system across layers (OS, middleware, application) with these specific UI a... » read more
