Ansys Buys Apache
By Ed Sperling - 30 Jun, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling Ansys plans to acquire Apache Design Solutions, rounding out its lineup of simulation software with expertise in low-power analysis. Ansys will pay $310 million in cash, which includes $29 million in cash that Apache already has on its books. The timing is particularly interesting because Apache announced its plans to go public with a $75 million IPO in March. The last compan... » read more

5 Ways To Cut Power
By Ed Sperling - 16 Jun, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling Low energy consumption with minimal leakage has emerged as the most competitive element in an IC design, regardless of whether it involves a plug, a battery, or whether it’s powered by a gasoline engine. While components on an SoC aren’t always power-aware, they’ll have to be in the future as consumers focus first on energy efficiency. With rising fuel costs, a concern ... » read more

Managing Physical Effects
By Ed Sperling - 16 Jun, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler Managing the physical effects from manufacturing is becoming increasingly critical as designs grow in size and process geometries dive lower. Just keeping track of these effects in a billion-gate design is a daunting task. At advanced manufacturing nodes, the capacitance and inductance effects make the design much harder—and that includes both on-die and off-die ... » read more

Extraction, Power And Final Silicon
By Ed Sperling - 12 May, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler As semiconductor technology scales down, manufacturing effects are coming front and center, putting constant pressure on design teams to make sure that silicon can be modeled through the extraction process while performing analysis accurately. Extraction technology is one of the basic components needed to gain an accurate measurement of power, timing and signal int... » read more

Top 5 Reasons For Power Delivery Failure
By Matt Elmore - 12 May, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Matt Elmore Technology scaling has brought with it a myriad of causes for power delivery network (PDN) failure. Even a few years ago, it was simply enough to run static and dynamic power analysis to expose any voltage drops caused by weak power routing. No one cared about modeling the package and PCB. To account for clock jitter, you could simply throw in a whole nanosecond of clock uncerta... » read more

Power Noise Analysis For Next Generation ICs
By Various Writers - 12 May, 2011 - Comments: 0

In advanced technology nodes, SoC designs face complex power supply challenges driven by changes such as higher gate placement density, smaller wire and via geometries, and lower supply voltages in sophisticated, multi-layered packages and boards. The challenges associated with power delivery networks (PDN) anywhere on the die, package and board designs can be seen in all types of ICs, includin... » read more

EDA’s Big Challenge
By Ed Sperling - 28 Apr, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler It is not news to anyone that the growth rate of the EDA industry has been less than impressive, to put it politely. Traditional EDA implementation tools have hit commodity status and something’s got to change. Thankfully, there are a host of challenges coming in the form of system-level (and higher) design, not to mention what will be required for true 3D chips. ... » read more
