Blog Review: Nov. 13
By Jesse Allen - 13 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

Applied Materials' Buvna Ayyagari-Sangamalli argues that the siloed structure that produced the computing eras of the past will not be sufficient to fuel the AI era and that a new codesign approach to everything from architecture to materials is needed. Arm's Wendy Elsasser examines emerging non-volatile memories and how they have triggered innovation for new memory protocols and optimized s... » read more

Verdi Transaction Debug Solution: Unified Performance Analysis And Debug For Interconnect
By Synopsys - 13 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

In modern systems on chip (SoCs), where Arm AMBA protocols are intensively used as standard intellectual property (IP) interfaces, the interconnect is usually required to bridge and facilitate the communication between many different IP interfaces. The interconnect presents one of the biggest challenges of SoC verification, considering the different kinds of protocol interfaces, conversion of d... » read more

Addressing The Challenges Of Reset Verification In SoC Designs
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 13 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

This paper presents commonly occurring challenges involved in reset tree verification and their solutions. We lay out a three part approach to build a complete solution that combines static analysis of the design structure, RTL simulation with X-propagation, and formal verification. The paper includes results from testing this solution on a customer design. To read more, click here. » read more

AI’s Blind Spots
By Ed Sperling - 12 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 1

The rush to utilize AI/ML in nearly everything and everywhere raises some serious questions about how all of this technology will evolve, age and perform over time. AI is very useful at doing certain tasks, notably finding patterns and relationships in broad data sets that are well beyond the capabilities of the human mind. This is very valuable for adding efficiency into processes of all so... » read more

A Breakthrough In Silicon Bring-Up
By Matthew Knowles - 12 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 1

The current semiconductor market is seeing increasingly complex silicon devices for applications like 5G wireless communications, autonomous driving, and artificial intelligence. One of the ways designers are working to control design time and cost is through the adoption of IJTAG (IEEE 1687) for a plug-and-play style IP integration during design. The benefits of using IJTAG are still emerging,... » read more

Different Ways To Improve Chip Reliability
By Ed Sperling - 12 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 1

A push toward greater reliability in safety- and mission-critical applications is prompting some innovative approaches in semiconductor design, manufacturing, and post-production analysis of chip behavior. While quality over time has come under intensive scrutiny in automotive, where German carmakers require chips to last 18 years with zero defects, it isn't the only market demanding extende... » read more

Should We Even Be Talking About 6G?
By Sarah Yost - 12 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

Friends and coworkers have been sending me a lot of articles lately about 6G, with snappy headlines that seem to suggest that 5G is already a thing of the past. As a marketing manager working on cellular technology, they want to know what I think. On the one hand, I’m excited to see that the hype surrounding 5G is shining a spotlight on wireless communications research and that visionaries ar... » read more

Test In New Frontiers: Flexible Circuits
By SE Staff - 12 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

Test is becoming increasingly complicated as new technologies such as flexible electronics begin playing mission-critical roles in applications where electronics have little or no history. Although flexible circuitry has been around for while, testing needs to catch up as these circuits are deployed across a variety of markets where conditions may be extreme. In many cases, sensors for monit... » read more
