Electro-Thermal Design Breakthrough
By Siemens EDA - 13 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

Electronic component manufacturers have traditionally provided models in SPICE format, so customers can simulate their application circuits and better understand the features, capabilities, and interactions of those parts in the system context. Now, with BCI ROM, a similar and parallel thermal model supply chain can develop. This technology breakthrough arrives at a time of component design-in ... » read more

Understanding UVM Coverage For RISC-V Processor Designs
By Synopsys - 13 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

Attempting to achieve complete RISC-V verification requires multiple methodologies employing a wide range of relevant tools, including: • Coverage driven simulation based on UVM constrained random methods and compliant with the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) standard • Static and formal property verification • Equivalence checking • Emulation and FPGA based verific... » read more

The Ansys Charge Plus PiC Solve
By Ansys - 13 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

All surfaces are exposed to radiation, whether aircraft fuselages, satellite skins, or solar panels, are subjected to ionization effects through the accumulation of charged plasmas. Such plasmas present critical hazards to these platforms as their sudden nonlinear discharges can damage or destroy surfaces and underlying electronic components. Through the Particle-in-Cell solver, Ansys Charge Pl... » read more

Arm Total Compute: Engineering For Tomorrow’s Workload
By Arm - 13 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

As consumers seek richer and more immersive experiences from their devices, the way compute systems are engineered must continually evolve to keep up. Arm Total Compute takes a solution-focused approach to system-on-chip design, moving beyond individual IP elements to design and optimize the system as a whole to enable more digital immersion experiences. Not only does this white paper dis... » read more

Combining digital and analog Researchers from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) propose integrating 2D semiconductors with ferroelectric materials for joint digital and analog information processing, which could improve energy efficiency and support new functionality. The device uses a 2D negative-capacitance tungsten diselenide/tin diselenide tunnel FET (TFET), which consu... » read more

Sweeping Changes For Leading-Edge Chip Architectures
By Ed Sperling - 08 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

Chipmakers are utilizing both evolutionary and revolutionary technologies to achieve orders of magnitude improvements in performance at the same or lower power, signaling a fundamental shift from manufacturing-driven designs to those driven by semiconductor architects. In the past, most chips contained one or two leading-edge technologies, mostly to keep pace with the expected improvements i... » read more
