When It Makes Sense To Perform An Open Source Audit
By Synopsys - 02 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

Today's software is not created so much as assembled. The parts that serve as ingredients come from a variety of sources, but mostly from the millions of open source components freely available on the internet. This has enabled a digital transformation in several industries, helping market leaders speed their time to market, lower costs, and improve innovation. But what are the licensing and... » read more

MaxLinear And Calibre RealTime Digital
By Siemens EDA - 26 May, 2021 - Comments: 0

MaxLinear implemented the Calibre RealTime Digital interface for fast, iterative, signoff DRC checking and fixing during floorplanning and placement. They not only reduce the total of batch DRC iterations, but also eliminate potential late-stage issues during final physical verification signoff that are exponentially harder to fix. Adopting the Calibre RealTime Digital interface enabled MaxLine... » read more

Virtuoso ADE Assembler

Cadence Virtuoso ADE Assembler is an advanced design and simulation environment that extends the capabilities of Virtuoso ADE Explorer, adding all the tests needed to fully verify a design over all operational, process, and environmental conditions. As more analysis is required, users can take incremental advantage of the Virtuoso Variation Option to do more advanced statistical analysis on the... » read more

Hardware-Software Co-verification (ARM CPU)
By Vtool - 26 May, 2021 - Comments: 0

In every complex SoC verification process, it is necessary to activate the CPUs during verification and to check the operation of the software they execute alongside the test’s scenarios. At a minimum, basic scenarios such as “boot rom execution” are tested, but in many cases, further scenarios are required. The CPUs themselves are usually proven IPs, but in order to verify their integrat... » read more

Improvement Of EUV Si Hardmask Performance Through Wet Chemistry Functionalization
By Brewer Science - 20 May, 2021 - Comments: 0

In EUV lithography, spin-on silicon hardmasks have been widely used not only as etch transfer layers, but also as assist layers to enhance the lithographic performance of resist. In this study, we demonstrate a novel approach to functionalize spin-on silicon hardmasks by hybridizing them with functional groups through a sol-gel approach. By varying the concentration and type of the functional g... » read more

Adding Value With Unit Level Traceability (ULT) In Automotive Packaging
By Amkor - 20 May, 2021 - Comments: 0

Automotive product traceability has existed in one form or another for several decades. Traceability generally refers to tracking and tracing each component that comprises every subsystem in a car. Traditionally, this has been achieved with direct part marking on mechanical or electronic components, using 1D or 2D barcodes or radio-frequency identification (RFID). Since vehicle recalls are cost... » read more

Machine Learning At The Edge
By Siemens EDA - 12 May, 2021 - Comments: 0

Moving machine learning to the edge has critical requirements on power and performance. Using off-the-shelf solutions is not practical. CPUs are too slow, GPUs/TPUs are expensive and consume too much power, and even generic machine learning accelerators can be overbuilt and are not optimal for power. In this paper, learn about creating new power/memory efficient hardware architectures to meet n... » read more

AnastASICA — Towards Structured and Automated Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Design For Automotive Electronics
By Fraunhofer IIS/EAS - 12 May, 2021 - Comments: 0

In our world based on electronics, the design of analog/mixed-signal (AMS) ICs is still mainly done manually. While digital design benefits from complete synthesis flows, analog lags far behind in terms of development time, cost, and risk. Analog design flows are hardly standardized and necessitate the four eye principle as important quality tool. Thus, highly experienced designers who incorpor... » read more

Designing Secure and Trusted Silicon Using Shift-Left in Verification
By Synopsys - 12 May, 2021 - Comments: 0

Designing secure silicon requires the design to be stable at all times, it shouldn't enter unknown states at any time to make it vulnerable from the security point of view. This paper identifies different sources of instability such as combinational feedback loop, unguarded clock and reset crossing, unguarded power crossing, etc. These instabilities can lead to unknown value propagation and hig... » read more

Kria K26 SOM: The Ideal Platform For Vision AI At The Edge
By Xilinx - 12 May, 2021 - Comments: 0
