Hybrid Boolean Networks as Physically Unclonable Functions
By Technical Paper Link - 31 Mar, 2021 - Comments: 0

Abstract: "We introduce a Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) based on an ultra-fast chaotic network known as a Hybrid Boolean Network (HBN) implemented on a field programmable gate array. The network, consisting of N coupled asynchronous logic gates displaying dynamics on the sub-nanosecond time scale, acts as a `digital fingerprint' by amplifying small manufacturing variations during a peri... » read more

Xilinx AI Engines And Their Applications
By Xilinx - 31 Mar, 2021 - Comments: 0

This white paper explores the architecture, applications, and benefits of using Xilinx's new AI Engine for compute intensive applications like 5G cellular and machine learning DNN/CNN. 5G requires between five to 10 times higher compute density when compared with prior generations; AI Engines have been optimized for DSP, meeting both the throughput and compute requirements to deliver the hig... » read more

Greetings From Mars

Big Changes In Verification
By Ann Mutschler - 28 Jan, 2021 - Comments: 0

Verification is undergoing fundamental change as chips become increasingly complex, heterogeneous, and integrated into larger systems. Tools, methodologies, and the mindset of verification engineers themselves are all shifting to adapt to these new designs, although with so many moving pieces this isn't always so easy to comprehend. Ferreting out bugs in a design now requires a multi-faceted... » read more

Verifying Safety-Critical FPGA Designs With Fault Simulation
By Synopsys - 12 Jan, 2021 - Comments: 0

Supporting safety and assurance in designs, such as the chips used in industrial, aerospace and defense applications, requires more than traditional functional verification. Even if every bug is found and fixed before release, these applications have additional requirements for functional safety. They must be able to handle a variety of faults and induced errors, either by correcting them or by... » read more

Automation And Fault Simulation Of Safety-Critical FPGA Designs
By Joe Mallett - 15 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

Functional safety is a major challenge for field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and other semiconductor designs. Safety requirements go beyond traditional verification, which focuses on design bugs. Chips in safety-critical applications must be able to handle a variety of faults from sources such as temperature and power extremes, device aging, radiation, ionization and component failures. Ap... » read more
