Extending The Benefits Of UVM To Include AMS: An Update On Accellera’s UVM-AMS Standard Development
By Tom Fitzpatrick - 04 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

By Tom Fitzpatrick and Peter Grove SoC teams can be divided up into design and verification groups. For digital designs, the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM), initially developed by Accellera and now standardized as IEEE 1800.2, has been the industry standard for the past decade. Since most SoC designs also have analog and mixed-signal IP blocks, it would be ideal for verification en... » read more

Digital Power Sets The Direction For Data Center Growth In The AI Era
By Andrew Cowell - 22 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

Data center power requirements are often in the news given the insatiable need of artificial intelligence, 5G wireless networks, and the Internet of Things to process rapidly rising data volumes. With the cloud storage market expanding at an estimated 20-plus percent annually, the world’s largest hyperscale computing companies are taking advantage of this growth to offer their customers a ... » read more

Collaboration Leading The Way For Broad RISC-V Adoption
By Mike Eftimakis - 22 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

We recently announced a partnership with Intel as part of the launch of the Intel Pathfinder for RISC-V, making leading RISC-V technology more accessible for prototyping, production design or research purposes using Intel FPGAs. Intel Pathfinder for RISC-V allows for a variety of RISC-V cores and other IP to be instantiated on FPGA platforms, with the ability to run industry-leading oper... » read more

Improving Design Collaboration In The Age Of Remote Work
By Amit Varde - 13 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

Teams of analog and mixed signal (AMS) design and layout engineers spend countless hours extracting every ounce of performance out of their design. They continually make incremental changes daily to the design until the very end, as close to tape out as possible. Each change made to the design requires corresponding changes to the circuit layout. As technology advances, accounting for the paras... » read more

Wave Hello To Improved Performance
By Luciana Caminha Afonso - 13 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimated that in 2019, approximately 33 percent of all transportation-related CO2 emissions were generated by buses and light to heavy commercial vehicles. Transitioning to electric drives in this sector could clearly have a significant impact on reducing our emissions, but electrifying such demanding vehicles is not an easy task. Many of the concepts... » read more

Testing The Stack: DFT Is Ready For 3D Devices
By Martin Keim - 08 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

When existing advanced 2D designs already push the limits of design-for-test (DFT) tools, what hope do developers have of managing DFT for 3D devices? Can anyone afford the tool run time, on-chip area demand, pattern count, and test time? The answer, from an array of experts, is yes, there is a path to a scalable, affordable, and comprehensive DFT solution for 3D ICs. Well-covered strategies... » read more

What’s Really Behind The Adoption Of eFPGA?
By Andy Jaros - 01 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

System companies are taking a more proactive role in co-designing their hardware and software roadmaps, so it’s no surprise that they are also driving the adoption of embedded FPGAs (eFPGA). But why and why has it taken so long? Today, most system companies leverage FPGAs to offload intensive compute workloads from the main processor or provide broader IO capability than any packaged ASIC ... » read more

Security Highlight: Honda Rolling-PWN Attack
By Ramiro Pareja Veredas - 01 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

The attack known as Rolling-PWN (CVE-2021-46145) [1] is the latest of a recent series of security issues affecting the car’s immobilizers and RKEs (Remote Keyless Entry, also known as the keyfob or remote control). Over the past years, we have seen how security researchers identified attacks that could open and even start cars from vendors like Tesla [2], Hyundai-Kia [3], VAG (Volkswagen, ... » read more
