Optimizing Analog For Power At Advanced Nodes
By Ann Mutschler - 09 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

As any engineering manager will tell you, analog and digital engineers seem like they could be from different planets. While this has changed somewhat over time, [getkc id="52" comment="analog"] is still something of a mystery to many in [getkc id="81" kc_name="SoC"] design teams. Throw power management into the mix and things really get interesting. Improvements in analog/mixed-signal tools... » read more

Memory VIP

As the consumer market, and the mobile segment in particular, continues to demand more features and more performance in their gadgets, the designer community is confronted with myriad challenges of delivering on those demands – not the least of which is verifying compliance of ever-evolving protocols that enable the connection of everything within the system on chip (SoC), and the connection ... » read more

Taking The Mystery Out Of IP, SoC And Automotive System Debug
By Larry Vivolo - 09 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

I recently had to take my car to the dealership because the gas-saving "auto-shut-off-while-stopped" feature wasn't working. The dealer explained that the reason it took two days to debug was because it "touched on many systems" in the car. In the end, they realized the battery wasn't fully charged and blamed it on my short 10-mile commute. Whether that was an honest answer or an example of ... » read more
