After The Ball Drops
By Atrenta - 14 Dec, 2011 - Comments: 0

Growing up in New York City leaves lasting memories. The coming holiday season evokes some strong ones. The Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center is an example. Christmas always seemed to radiate in all directions from that huge tree perched above the ice skating rink behind Radio City Music Hall. And then there was the ball dropping on New Year’s Eve in Times Square. For the most part, New Yo... » read more

Managing IP In Complex Devices
By Ann Mutschler - 17 Nov, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler Whether it is a smartphone, tablet, video game with home networking feature or any other digital device, each contains multiple subsystems with a mixture of IP blocks from either in-house development or licensed from third parties. Managing the subsystems, let alone the individual IP blocks and the interplay between all of them, is not getting any easier. In fact, wit... » read more

Build It Faster
By Ed Sperling - 17 Nov, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling Hitting market windows with IC designs has always been a struggle, but the race to the finish line is becoming more critical—and much more difficult. The reason: Market windows themselves are shrinking. Products that used to stick around for years may now only last for months, replaced by newer versions that offer either better performance or lower power. In many cases, par... » read more

Buzzwords: Dead or Alive?
By Tiffany Sparks - 17 Nov, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Tiffany Sparks “Time-to-market” and “time-to-volume” – are they overused marketing buzzwords? Until recently, I would have argued yes. After all, it seems like very few solutions in the semiconductor supply chain are not marketed along the lines of addressing time-to-volume or time-to-market challenges. But just because buzzwords become trite, it doesn’t mean they aren’t st... » read more

The Next SoCs
By Ed Sperling - 20 Oct, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling The number of changes that will hit the IC market over the next few years is almost staggering by any standard—past or present. In addition to the relentless pressure of Moore’s Law, there will be new materials, new structures, and new models for developing and packaging chips. System-Level Design asked executives from across the SoC ecosystem what will change, what’s d... » read more

Derivative Designs Demand Discipline
By Ed Sperling - 20 Oct, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler By and large most designs today are derivatives, meaning they don’t start from a blank slate. And while that gives engineering teams a starting point, it also can make adding new IP blocks or changes to the design problematic, with the potential for increased routing and timing issues along with considerable pain to back-end engineers and delays in chip schedules. ... » read more

Understanding Formal Verification Concepts, Part 3
By Various Writers - 20 Oct, 2011 - Comments: 0

This final white paper in a three-part series about formal verification concepts examines the assertion-based verification flow and some of the formal verification algorithms. To download the first two papers in this series, click here for part one and here for part two. This kind of approach has become necessary as SoC designs become more challenging and the traditional method of simulat... » read more
