Holistic FMEDA-Driven Safety Design And Verification For Analog, Digital, And Mixed-Signal Design
By Cadence - 21 Dec, 2021 - Comments: 0

With state-of-the-art electronics propelling the automotive industry into the future, automotive OEMs require safety-certified semiconductors. The integration of these advanced technologies into cars drives a need for component suppliers to assess and audit the risk of the technologies they want to deploy. At the same time, safety requirements are constantly evolving and becoming more stringent... » read more

Re-Architecting SerDes
By Brian Bailey - 10 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) circuits have been helping semiconductors move data around for years, but new process technologies are forcing it to adapt and change in unexpected ways. Traditionally implemented as an analog circuit, SerDes technology has been difficult to scale, while low voltages, variation, and noise are making it more difficult to yield sufficiently. So to remain releva... » read more

From Constraints to Tape-Out: Towards a Continuous AMS Design Flow
By Fraunhofer IIS/EAS - 10 Oct, 2019 - Comments: 0

Author(s): Krinke, Andreas; Horst, Tilman; Gläser, Georg; Grabmann, Martin; Markus, Tobias; Prautsch, Benjamin; Hatnik, Uwe; Lienig, Jens The effort in designing analog/mixed-signal (AMS) integrated circuits is characterized by the largely manual work involved in the design of analog cells and their integration into the overall circuit. This inequality in effort between analog and digital... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 26 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

A new working group has been proposed by Accellera to focus on the standardization of analog/mixed signal extensions (AMS) for the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) standard. “Our ambition is to apply UVM for both digital and analog/mixed-signal verification,” said Martin Barnasconi, Accellera Technical Committee Chair. “The UVM-AMS PWG will assess the benefits of creating analog a... » read more

Rapid SoC Proof-Of-Concept For Zero Cost
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 02 Feb, 2017 - Comments: 0

A new breed of designers has arrived that is leveraging inexpensive sensors to build the intelligent systems at the edge of the Internet of Things (IoT). They work in small teams, collaborate online, and they expect affordable design tools that are easy to use in order to quickly produce results. Their goal is to deliver a functioning device to their stakeholders while spending as little money ... » read more

Blog Review: Oct. 23
By Ed Sperling - 23 Oct, 2013 - Comments: 0

It was a good week for good questions. Cadence’s Brian Fuller asks what applications dream about—or rather what’s their potential. In the context of technology development, that’s worth pondering. Mentor’s Mike Jensen asks what will you be remembered for. There are a couple other important addendums to that, such as how long you will be remembered. And perhaps even more important, ... » read more
