12 Design Techniques For Successful Integration Of Data Converter IP Into An SoC
By Various Writers - 19 Dec, 2012 - Comments: 0

To deliver the demanding performance and faster operation of today’s systems—from communication interfaces to high-image-quality video and multimedia systems—consumer applications employ digital signal processing extensively. Data converters form the interface between the real-world analog signals and the digital domain. They are, therefore, an essential element of the complete signal pro... » read more

Looking Back At 2012
By Frank Schirrmeister - 17 Dec, 2012 - Comments: 1

By Frank Schirrmeister This my last post in this Blog for this year and it is time to look back at the year and try to see what’s next. How fast time flies became clear in a funny way to me this morning when listening to the “Tagesschau” while showering – the 8pm news I grew up with back in Germany – courtesy of modern video Blog technology. Apparently the parking fines in inner citi... » read more

To Shrink Or Not To Shrink…And How Much?
By Ed Sperling - 29 Nov, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler The 28nm semiconductor manufacturing node is in full swing with 20nm process development ramping quickly. As such, the industry has been looking ahead to the next node shrink to achieve the power, performance and cost advantages that a node shrink promises. However, as we are well aware by now, traditional CMOS planar technology is not scaling as it did in previous ge... » read more

MEMS Goes Mainstream
By Ed Sperling - 29 Nov, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Cheryl Coupé Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) are well known for enabling innovative capabilities for devices that range from vehicles and gaming to smartphones and tablets—and increasingly in personal health and fitness, security, and environmental applications. As stacked die become more popular, they also will become part of the integration challenge that chipmakers will wrestle... » read more

Engineering Change Orders Revisited
By Ed Sperling - 29 Nov, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling The perennial nightmare of the marketing head reporting that a customer will buy a design—but only if it fits into a specific power envelope or has better performance or I/O—is all too familiar to engineering teams. In theory, using more third-party IP should help alleviate this problem because the IP can be changed out relatively easily. The reality, though, is that it�... » read more

Prototyping Now A ‘Must Have’
By Ed Sperling - 29 Nov, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler No longer a ‘nice to have,’ FPGA-based prototyping is now indispensible for SoC and ASIC development. Semiconductor companies are investing in the infrastructure, the EDA tool chain, the human resources and everything needed to set up an entire department to focus on prototyping, emulation and validation. “We are seeing these customers invest in significant a... » read more

Traveling Light
By Nithya Ruff - 29 Nov, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Nithya Ruff I recently attended the Embedded Linux Conference in Barcelona representing Synopsys. I must admit, it is nice to have conferences in beautiful places so you can kill two birds with one stone. When not networking, speaking or sitting in sessions, I enjoyed seeing the beauty of Antoni Gaudi’s architecture, some great vegetarian restaurants like Juicy Jones and, of course, I enj... » read more

Open IP Development Tools
By Various Writers - 29 Nov, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Pascal Chauvet How much time have you wasted trying to understand software tools by deciphering the logic of their creator? I always find it very frustrating to be limited by features and tool capabilities that do not do exactly what I want, or which do not work at all with my other applications. We are engineers! We can learn and adapt, but we often want to be able to extend and improve th... » read more
