An Integrated Workflow For Circuit Design, Simulation, And Functional Safety Analysis
By Daniel Zhang - 26 Feb, 2026 - Comments: 0

By Daniel Zhang and Claudius Jordan Functional safety analysis is a crucial step in the development of safety-critical systems. It ensures that the system-under-development meets its defined safety requirements and functions safely under both nominal and fault conditions. In the event of a failure, the system must respond appropriately to mitigate the risk of safety hazards that could potent... » read more

Purpose-Built Tools for Connected Design
By Keysight - 25 Feb, 2026 - Comments: 0

Modern semiconductor design is a massive, data-driven effort—often involving terabytes of files and globally distributed teams. Yet many organizations still rely on disconnected workflows and generic version control tools not designed for the scale or complexity of chip development. These fragmented systems slow innovation, reduce efficiency, and make collaboration increasingly difficult. ... » read more

Survey of DL-Based LiDAR Super-Resolution For Autonomous Driving (University College London)
By Technical Paper Link - 24 Feb, 2026 - Comments: 0

University College London researchers published "A Comprehensive Survey on Deep Learning-Based LiDAR Super-Resolution for Autonomous Driving." Abstract "LiDAR sensors are often considered essential for autonomous driving, but high-resolution sensors remain expensive while affordable low-resolution sensors produce sparse point clouds that miss critical details. LiDAR super-resolution addre... » read more
