Smart DFT Infrastructure And Automation Are Key To Managing Design Scaling
By Siemens EDA - 08 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

This paper describes how using a smarter DFT infrastructure and automation can greatly improve the DFT schedule. A structural DFT infrastructure based on plug-and-play principles is used to enable concurrent DFT development and integration. DFT automation is used to connect and manage the DFT infrastructure to dramatically reduce the risks associated with design scaling and complexity. Highe... » read more

Addressing Library Characterization And Verification Challenges Using ML
By Siemens EDA - 02 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

At advanced process nodes, Liberty or library (.lib) requirements are more demanding due to design complexities, increased number of corners required for timing signoff, and the need for statistical variation modeling. This results in an increase in size, complexity, and the number of .lib characterizations. Validation and verification of these complex and large .lib files is a challenging task... » read more

Veloce Coverage App And Veloce Assertion App Deliver Unified Coverage Methodology
By Siemens EDA - 26 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

The interoperability of the Veloce Coverage app and the Veloce Assertion app with other verification engines (simulation and formal) enables merging coverage collected by each engine and provides a cohesive coverage closure report and analysis flow. It enables the verification team and product-level management to make important decisions such as coverage closure sign-off, test quality analysis ... » read more

High-Quality Test And Embedded Analytics For Secure Applications
By Siemens EDA - 11 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Designs for secure applications such as smart cards and those used in the defense industry require security to ensure sensitive data is inaccessible to outside agents. This used to be a somewhat niche requirement and the implementation of custom solutions to meet these specific requirements was common. However, with the explosion within the semiconductor industry of automotive and cyber-phys... » read more

Vehicles are becoming the most sophisticated connected objects in the ‘Internet of Things’. As vehicles integrate functionality that will enable a fully autonomous future, the attack surface grows substantially. Combined with remote connectivity at multiple points, the clock is ticking in a race to improve cybersecurity in all types of vehicles to ensure that all stakeholders, but particula... » read more

Batch Filters: A Better, Faster Way To Filter Large DRC Results Databases
By Siemens EDA - 22 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

Reviewing massive DRC results databases (RDBs) can be a time-consuming stage in traditional debug flows, due primarily to the loading, filtering, and display times associated with these large datasets. Finding the most effective approach to filtering results data is important to optimize both results debug time and resource usage. While smaller databases that load quickly in GUI applications ca... » read more
