Shift Left The Design Process With Calibre Interactive Symmetry Checking
By Siemens EDA - 16 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

The traditional methods of symmetry checking are due for an update. The Calibre interactive, no code symmetry checking solution helps designers capture symmetry issues very early in the design cycle to reduce the number of iterations. Calibre interactive symmetry checking shifts left the whole verification process and reduces the time needed to reach tape out. What you’ll learn: Why the... » read more

Signal Integrity Basics
By Siemens EDA - 26 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

In this orientation to signal integrity basics, we aim to introduce several important and fundamental concepts of signal integrity for the beginner. Most explanations are provided at a high level without a lot of depth and math, and examples are provided with a focus on comparison rather than detailed numerical results. Of course, background depth, math, and numerical details are very important... » read more

On Analysis Of RDC Issues For Identifying Reset Tree Design Bugs And Further Strategies For Noise Reduction
By Siemens EDA - 12 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

Reset tree checks should be viewed thoroughly before reset domain crossing analysis. Static verification tools have many checks for reset tree analysis. This paper discusses the usage of non-resettable registers (NRRs) in reset paths. NRRs can cause metastability in the reset paths and hence thorough verification is a must. The paper discusses reduction of false failure reporting noise strategi... » read more

Techniques To Identify Reset Metastability Due To Soft Resets
By Siemens EDA - 05 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

Modern SoCs are equipped with complex reset architectures to meet the requirements of high-speed interfaces with increased functionality. These complex reset architectures with multiple reset domains, ensure functional recovery from hardware failures and unexpected electronic faults. But the transmission of data across sequential elements that are reset by different asynchronous and soft reset ... » read more

Distribution of Currents In Via Arrays
By Siemens EDA - 29 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

It has become increasingly difficult in recent years to provide adequate PDNs on a PCB. The sheer number of different voltages, combined with increased current demands, makes distributing current around the board a substantial layout challenge. This paper demonstrates that by using appropriate and accurate simulations, combined with the improved intuition that such simulations bring, it is a ch... » read more

High-Level Synthesis Enables The Next Generation Of Edge AI Accelerators
By Siemens EDA - 15 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

AI is becoming pervasive. But the ever increasing complexity is a challenge for IoT systems. Achieving the highest levels of performance and efficiency in edge AI means going beyond software and off the shelf hardware. Bespoke hardware accelerators in FPGA or ASICs can deliver much higher performance while consuming less energy. Building these accelerators with High-Level Synthesis slashes desi... » read more
