Machine Learning Application For Early Power Analysis Accuracy Improvement
By Siemens EDA - 19 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

In this paper, we introduce a machine learning (ML) application that accurately estimates the switching power of the cells without needing the SPEF file (SPEF less PA flow). Three ML models (multi-linear regression, random forest and decision tree) were trained and tested on different industrial designs at 7nm technology. They are trained using different cells’ properties available, SPEF, and... » read more

Software Infrastructure For Silicon Lifecycle Management
By Siemens EDA - 12 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor technology continues to deliver higher levels of logic density in the era of nanometer processes. System-on-chip (SoC) teams can deliver even higher functionality when coupled with the massive integration possibilities of three-dimensional integrated circuit (3DIC) architectures. However, this growth must be matched by increases in capabilities and productivity in the collection a... » read more

Responding To The Rapid Advancement Of Cockpit Domain Controllers
By Siemens EDA - 06 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

Every aspect of a modern vehicle’s performance is controlled by a complex network of hardware and software. Nowhere is this more apparent than the interface between the driver and the machine, in what is known as the cockpit domain. In order to succeed in this domain of fast-paced advancement, today’s OEM needs to understand the trends in this arena, the current challenges and solutions, an... » read more

Enhance IC Reliability Design Verification With Coordinate-Based P2P And CD Checking
By Siemens EDA - 23 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Coordinate-based P2P and CD checks with the Calibre PERC reliability platform enable quick early-stage design verification of ESD protection and other IC reliability issues. Using coordinate-based checking minimizes the amount of rule deck coding required, enabling design teams to start Calibre PERC P2P/CD verification very quickly, and understand and debug the results easily. Because P2P/CD ch... » read more

Understanding Automotive Reliability And ISO 26262 for Safety-Critical Systems
By Siemens EDA - 22 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Automotive electronics are playing a rapidly expanding role in automotive platforms tied to safety systems. Not content with the more traditional electronic systems such as airbag controllers, anti-lock braking systems, engine control units, and the like, integrated circuit (IC) manufacturers have been expanding into advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and other automotive electroni... » read more

High-Level Synthesis: It’s Still Hardware Design
By Siemens EDA - 26 May, 2022 - Comments: 0

Hardware design using HLS is no different than the typical ASIC/FPGA design flow with the exception that C++/SystemC is being used along with HLS to create the RTL instead of hand coding it. The advantage of using HLS is that it speeds up RTL creation time and reduces verification time by producing bug free RTL quickly from a fully verified C++/SystemC source. The misconception that still exist... » read more
