Secure Interfaces for Critical Semiconductor Applications


Security is now a concern for nearly all semiconductors in nearly all applications. Once of high interest mostly for military and financial systems, both the increasingly connected world and the plethora of existing security threats have changed the landscape dramatically. Every aspect of electronic system design—hardware, firmware, and software—has its own sets of risks and requirements to... » read more

Shift Left With Calibre Pattern Matching


As integrated circuit (IC) designs become increasingly complex, early-stage verification is crucial to ensure productivity and quality in design processes. The "shift left" verification approach, enabled by Siemens’ Calibre nmPlatform, helps IC design teams to identify and resolve critical issues much earlier in the design cycle. As part of the shift left platform, Calibre Pattern Matching... » read more

Seamless ECAD and MCAD Collaboration


Integrating electronic computer-aided design (ECAD) and mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD) systems is critical for achieving efficient and accurate design outcomes in the rapidly evolving landscape of product design. This article explores the prevalent challenges designers and engineers face in ECAD-MCAD integration and how these challenges can be effectively addressed through integrating ... » read more

Wearable Connectivity, AI Enable New Use Cases


The sensing and processing technology used in smart phones, watches, and rings is starting to be being deployed in a wide variety of wearable devices, ranging from those that fill the gap between sports and med tech, to haptic devices to assist the visually impaired and AR/VR glasses. Emerging applications include payment, building, and factory wearables. Most of these devices process signal... » read more

Automakers Grapple With Fundamental Tech Changes


Automotive OEMs are wrestling with a stack of changes that affect every part of their business and technology, from threats of tariffs and shifting geopolitical alliances, to new vehicle architectures, tighter market windows, and a fundamental reordering of relationships and priorities between OEMs and their suppliers. There is no consistency to these developments or a best path to solving t... » read more

Understanding And Navigating The Complexities of Health Monitoring For Power Supplies


This white paper introduces an innovative solution, which is designed to transform traditional reliability prediction procedures into the industry’s first commercially available embedded power supply health monitoring solution. This approach uses cutting-edge embedded data analytics on real-time telemetry data and a power system reliability model to dynamically recalculate the failure rate of... » read more

Scenario Coverage In Formal Verification


A rapid increase in complexity with heterogeneous assemblies and advanced-node chips is raising all sorts of questions on the formal verification side about the completeness of coverage. Engineers may assume proofs are complete, but in many cases they're black boxes that provide little or no insights into what's actually being proven. This is where scenario coverage comes into play. Ashish Darb... » read more

Verification Experts Vs. Generalists


Experts At The Table: As chips and systems become more complicated, more verification tasks get abstracted. So do we need more specialists who are experts in specific tasks, or do we need more generalists who know how to use the tools but don't necessarily have the depth of understanding? Or do we need some way to balance both? Semiconductor Engineering sat down with a panel of experts, includi... » read more
