Circuit Aging Becoming A Critical Consideration
By Ann Mutschler - 17 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 5

Circuit aging was considered somebody else's problem when most designs were for chips in consumer applications, but not anymore. Much of this reflects a shift in markets. When most chips were designed for consumer electronics, such as smart phones, designs typically were replaced every couple of years. But with the mobile phone market flattening, and as chips increasingly are used in automot... » read more

Why Chips Are Getting Noisier
By Brian Bailey - 13 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 4

In the past, designers only had to worry about noise for sensitive analog portions of a design. Digital circuitry was immune. But while noise gets worse at newer process nodes, staying at 28nm does not mean that it can be ignored anymore. With Moore's Law slowing, designs have to do more with less. Margins are being squeezed, additional concurrency is added, and attempts are made to opti... » read more

Critical Success Factors When Implementing Simulation Led Design Exploration
By Ansys - 12 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

Upfront simulation in the design stage of product development has long held great promise. It lets engineers find design flaws earlier and explore more alternatives. There is little doubt that such an effort offers tangible benefits to engineering organizations. But several obstacles often prevent companies from implementing a successful simulation initiative. The knowledge, skill, and time ... » read more

5G Drives New Test Approaches
By Kevin Fogarty - 11 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

Test/validation providers are claiming steady progress in the race to deliver 5G network components that support millimeter-wave as well as lower-frequency networks. Going from a state of no existing off-the-shelf test equipment suitable for 5G standalone new radio (NR), test companies are introducing equipment that can handle mmWave component testing on a limited scale. 5G is a next-generat... » read more
