Explaining Adaptive Voltage Scaling And Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling
By Ramsay Allen - 17 Jul, 2018 - Comments: 0

A Q&A with Moortec CTO Oliver King. What exactly do we mean by Adaptive Voltage Scaling versus Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling? Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS) involves the reduction of power by changing the operating conditions within an ASIC in a closed loop. Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling (DVFS), on the other hand, is a power management technique where the voltage is increased ... » read more

Enabling Integrated ADAS Domain Controllers With Automotive IP
By Ron DiGiuseppe - 17 Jul, 2018 - Comments: 0

Traditionally, the electronic control units (ECUs) for individual Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) applications have been placed throughout the car. The latest automotive architecture will integrate ECUs for multiple ADAS applications into centralized domains to combine multiple ADAS functions. The new class of integrated domain controller ECUs utilize data transferred from the car’s ... » read more

Five Features Of The ‘Always-On’ Mobile Experience
By Jakub Lamik - 17 Jul, 2018 - Comments: 0

Today’s technology consumers – labeled as the ‘always on, always connected’ generation – are some of the most demanding when it comes to what they expect from their devices for work and play. Not only do consumers want devices that are able to manage their multiple demands on the go – from mobile gaming to video streaming – but they also want devices to work continuously without t... » read more

Enabling Ethernet Time-Sensitive Networking With Automotive-Certified IP
By John Swanson - 18 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

Automotive systems are becoming more sophisticated as they combine ADAS applications from emergency braking, collision avoidance, lane departure warning to fully autonomous driving, making predictable latency and guaranteed bandwidth in the automotive network critical. These applications require a high volume of data from different parts of the car for processing and decision making. Due to the... » read more

Three Steps To Low Power Coverage Closure
By Awashesh Kumar - 18 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

By Awashesh Kumar and Madhur Bhargava Low-power design and verification is becoming more complex. Yet it is critical that all power elements are verified, and it is even more important to verify the complex interactions between these elements at a high abstraction level. However, power-aware coverage closure is difficult to attain and complex by nature. Existing low-power coverage methodo... » read more

Can Machine Learning Chips Help Develop Better Tools With Machine Learning?
By Vinay Patwardhan - 18 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

As we continue to be bombarded with AI- and machine learning-themed presentations at industry conferences, an ex-colleague told me that he is sick of seeing an outline of the human head with a processor in place of the brain. If you are a chip architect trying to build one of these data-centric architecture chips for machine learning or AI (as opposed to the compute-centric chips, which you pro... » read more

Is It Time To Take Inductance And Electromagnetic Effects On SoCs Seriously?
By Magdy Abadir - 14 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

Electromagnetic (EM) crosstalk impact on SoC performance has been a topic of discussion for a number of years, but how seriously have designers put EM crosstalk detection and avoidance into their SoC design practice? With increasing demand for faster bandwidth, lower power and higher density electronic systems, isn’t it about time to take inductance and EM effects seriously? This topic will b... » read more

Beyond Signoff
By Annapoorna Krishnaswamy - 14 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

The future of connectivity is very promising - the new era of semiconductors will give rise to transformational products that will enable seamless connectivity with 5G, smarter devices with AI, next generation mobility with autonomous vehicles and immersive experiences with AR and VR. These cutting-edge electronics systems will require the use of advanced sub-16nm SoCs and complex packaging tec... » read more

Upcoming System Modeling Challenges
By Stephan Gerth - 14 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

In the past, during the concept phase of a design, system models have typically lacked information regarding reliability. If at all, reliability was addressed late in the design phase shortly before tape out. As the functional safety aspect, and with it an extended device lifetime, gains more and more attention for certain applications, things have to change in the design processes. To ensure a... » read more

Process Detection & Variability
By Ramsay Allen - 14 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

A Q&A with Moortec CTO Oliver King. What do we mean by process variation? Process variation is a complex subject which covers a range of effects, but broadly we can consider that the effects are caused by imperfections in the manufacturing process. Examples are implant variations, mask misalignments, and optical variations. These all add up to give statistical variation on the ideal o... » read more
