System-Aware SoC Power, Noise And Reliability Sign-off
By Ansys - 14 Jan, 2015 - Comments: 0

In globally competitive markets for mobile, consumer and automotive electronic systems, the critical success factors are power consumption, performance and reliability. To manage these conflicting requirements, design teams consider multiple options, including the use of advanced process technology nodes — especially finFET-based devices. These advanced technology nodes allow chips to operate... » read more

MEMS Capacitance Extraction With Calibre xACT-3D Software
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 14 Jan, 2015 - Comments: 0

The growing use of MEM's in today's complex products requires new approaches to capacitance calculation to ensure companies can meet their time-to-market targets while producing products that meet performance and reliability expectations. Freescale Semiconductor and Mentor Graphics collaborated to demonstrate that Calibre xACT-3D software provides a robust method for extracting node-to-node cap... » read more

High-Performance Network Data-Packet Classification Using Embedded Content-Addressable Memory (TCAMs)
By eSilicon - 17 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

With port speeds exceeding 100Gbps, route lookups that are fundamental to all routers have relied on ternary content addressable memories (TCAMs) to provide a lookup response within a clock cycle. However, TCAMs in discrete form are expensive, consume a lot of power, compete for precious real estate on the printed circuit board (PCB), and in some applications lack required flexibility. Embeddin... » read more

Using VDKs For Automotive Systems Development
By Synopsys - 17 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

The software content of automotive systems found in powertrain, chassis, safety, body and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) application is increasing. At the same time, the pressure to accelerate development time lines, improve reliability and maintain/reduce costs is also increasing. Automotive OEM, Tier 1 and semiconductor companies involved in embedded software development, integrati... » read more

FPGA Verification with Assertions: Why Bother?
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 17 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

This paper provides a practical, easy, step-by- step set of instructions on how to add assertions to your RTL design. By following the simple guidelines provided in this paper you will benefit by cutting simulation debugging time in half, as well as finding very complex bugs that are likely to escape traditional simulation without assertions.

Enabling ISO 26262 Qualification
By Cadence - 17 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

This document describes how to approach the software tool qualification outlined in ISO 26262 when developing automotive electrical and electronic systems using Cadence tools. Cadence provides an ISO 26262 Tool Qualification Kit, also described in this document, that can help developers through the process with common use cases and reference workflows. Following these guidelines speeds developm... » read more

Eight Steps For Ensuring PCB Assembly Success
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 11 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

So, you have invented and designed the next hit product, poised to wreak havoc with the competition and ensure continued financial success for the company for a long time into the future. Guess what though; the job is not done until the product hits the street. In between design and sales is printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing and assembly. All critical business metrics, including, cos... » read more

Top-down Design Of Distributed Embedded Systems In Light Of Timing Considerations
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 09 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

Proper safeguarding of safety-critical systems in an automotive environment cannot be ensured sufficiently without taking timing into consideration. The failure to observe timing constraints can lead to malfunctions and, in a worst-case scenario, can cause vehicle damage and personal injury. AUTOSAR 4.0 now supports timing constraints, but the standard, although very powerful, still is not able... » read more

Programming Devices At In-Circuit Test
By Teradyne - 06 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

Manufacturers have a great deal of flexibility when deciding where and how to program their devices. Components can be programmed at many stages during the procurement and manufacturing process. This Teradyne white paper explains why in-circuit test is the ideal stage in the production line to program firmware into components or data into flash memory. Download this white paper to learn h... » read more

Debugging Performance Issues With Qt-based UI Applications
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 03 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

Interactive user interfaces (UI) are fast becoming a basic requirement in many embedded applications and Qt is a popular cross-platform application and framework to help develop such compelling UIs. As with any software application, embedded UI development also requires numerous debugging iterations to achieve the level of desired performance (e.g. non-laggy response etc.) This whitepaper walks... » read more
