Ensure Equivalence Of Synthesizable C++/SystemC Designs Against Generated/Handwritten RTL
By Vlada Kalinic - 08 Jan, 2026 - Comments: 0

High-level synthesis (HLS) is a design flow in which design intent is described at a higher level of abstraction than RTL, such as in SystemC/C++ or MATLAB. HLS tools are expected to synthesize this code to RTL, which can be input to the traditional RTL downstream flow (RTL/GDS). Formally checking generated RTL can be difficult to analyze, as errors cannot be correlated to the HLS source code. ... » read more

Is End-To-End Security Possible?
By Ed Sperling - 08 Jan, 2026 - Comments: 0

Looming financial penalties for data breaches are forcing chipmakers to confront end-to-end security, an increasingly complex and daunting problem because no single company controls all the pieces anymore. This is especially apparent in multi-die assemblies, in use today in data centers, and under consideration in automotive and other applications. Multiple chiplets can push performance well... » read more

The automotive industry stands at a crossroads entering 2026, facing a complex interplay of global tariffs, evolving electric vehicle (EV) dynamics, and the infusion of AI into just about everything. As manufacturers and suppliers navigate recent financing shifts and regulatory changes, they also must address consumer concerns over EV affordability and range, OEM concerns over when to develo... » read more

Security Threats Converge On IoT, Industrial ICs, Physical AI
By Liz Allan - 08 Jan, 2026 - Comments: 0

Devices in a broad range of edge AI applications are increasingly at risk of hacking or tampering, with the stakes varying greatly depending on how much the device can impact and interact with human life. Design methods and protection techniques must now be included up front in the design cycle for optimal protection of consumers and companies as the quantum threat looms. In today’s factor... » read more

Topology Selection For Bidirectional Energy Flow Applications Using WBG Devices
By Infineon - 07 Jan, 2026 - Comments: 0

The paper provides an overview of the topology for bidirectional converters and discusses their different usage. Bidirectional energy flow applications are usually found in energy storage systems, battery systems, and can be categorized as grid-connected and DC-DC-connected. In grid-connected applications, two power conversion stages, which are power factor corrector (PFC) rectifier/inverter an... » read more

Formal Verification Of Synthesizable C++/SystemC Designs
By Siemens EDA - 07 Jan, 2026 - Comments: 0

Formally checking generated RTL can be difficult to analyze as errors cannot be correlated to the HLS source code. Questa HLV can help overcome this challenge with high-level verification. Siemens offers several apps to verify and clean C++ HLS code before running HLS and then check the equivalency between C++ and RTL. High-level synthesis (HLS) is a design flow in which design intent is des... » read more
