The Prius braking problem was blamed on a software glitch, but as Synopsys CEO Aart de Geus succinctly noted, none of Toyota’s rivals rushed out to trumpet their own software methodologies. While software adds flexib... » read more

Low-Power And RF Design Heighten Signal-Integrity Concerns
By Various Writers - 28 Jan, 2010 - Comments: 0

By Ellen Konieczny As active devices and interconnect wires shrink and are placed closer together with the march of Moore’s Law, signal integrity is becoming a huge concern. If it is not maintained, a design’s future may be marred by lower yields, unreliable performance, and failure to work efficiently—if at all. For low-power and radio-frequency (RF) designs, which are being prod... » read more

Verifying Low-Power Designs
By Ed Sperling - 14 Jan, 2010 - Comments: 0

5 Reasons For Change
By Ed Sperling - 04 Dec, 2009 - Comments: 0

One of the most intriguing trends to watch these days is in the area of diversification and differentiation. As we emerge from the worst downturn in the history of semiconductor design—in fact, the only time EDA has ever shown negative numbers other than accounting changes—companies are looking for new avenues of revenue growth that are significantly different than where they drew their r... » read more
