Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss IP and finFETs at advanced nodes with Warren Savage, president and CEO of IPextreme; Aveek Sarkar, vice president of engineering and product support at Ansys-Apache; Randy Smith, vice president of marketing at Sonics, and Bernard Murphy, CTO of Atrenta. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. SE: It’s harder for a fabless semiconductor ... » read more

Using VDKs For Automotive Systems Development
By Synopsys - 25 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 0

The software content of automotive systems found in powertrain, chassis, safety, body and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) application is increasing. At the same time, the pressure to accelerate development time lines, improve reliability and maintain/reduce costs is also increasing. Automotive OEM, Tier 1 and semiconductor companies involved in embedded software development, integrati... » read more

More Simplicity Next Year
By Anne Cirkel - 20 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 0

I briefly mentioned last week that I want to give you a glimpse behind the curtain of the DAC operation during the year. One goal of this blog is to give you some insight into the work the fabulous volunteers for DAC are doing. And that’s not only the 20 volunteers on the DAC Executive Committee. From the technical program committees all the way to the marketing committee, the event is entire... » read more

What’s New At DAC This Year
By DAC - 21 May, 2014 - Comments: 0

By Michelle Clancy If you’re in EDA, it’s not hard to tell that DAC will start in less than 15 days. There is an abundance of activity busting out of every EDA company. But with all that is going on, please take note of what is new on the exhibit floor and networking events at the show. Both the exhibits and the networking are key reasons for attending DAC. Complementing the all-embraci... » read more

Using Virtual Prototypes To Address The Growing Software Complexity In Automotive
By Synopsys - 21 May, 2014 - Comments: 0

The software content is growing steadily across multiple applications and the automotive market is no exception to this. In fact the amount of electronics and software in cars is transforming the way we perceive the value of a car. With this steady increase in software also comes the need to handle the amount and the complexity of all these different software stacks. And unlike other applicatio... » read more

Blog Review: April 2
By Ed Sperling - 02 Apr, 2014 - Comments: 0

Mentor’s Nazita Saye compares roadway roundabouts to networked systems. One roundabout works fine, but add in a bunch of them and you have a massive traffic jam. How many roundabouts are in your design? Cadence’s Richard Goering interviews Stan Kroliskoski, chair of the IEEE Design Automation Standards Committee, about four working groups on EDA standards and what’s ahead. Speaking ... » read more

New Approaches For Reliability
By Ed Sperling - 28 Mar, 2014 - Comments: 0

The definition of reliability hasn’t budged since the invention of the IC, but how to achieve it is starting to change. In safety-critical systems, as well as in markets such as aerospace, demands for reliability are so rigorous that they often require redundant circuitry—and for good reason. A PanAmSat malfunction in 1998 caused by tin whisker growth wiped out pagers for 45 million use... » read more

EDA Shapes Its Future
By Brian Bailey - 27 Mar, 2014 - Comments: 2

In part one of this series, Semiconductor Engineering looked at growth within the EDA industry and the types of approaches being made to expand the scope of the markets that they serve. Scope expansion comes from the creation of new tools, the growth of companies in the IP space and the various ways in which opportunities can be found in new markets. Additional growth opportunities come from so... » read more

Mentor Buys Berkeley Design
By The SE Staff - 21 Mar, 2014 - Comments: 0

Mentor Graphics announced today that it has acquired Berkeley Design Automation, staking a claim on the expanding market for analog, mixed-signal and RF verification. The deal puts Mentor on firm footing against Synopsys and Cadence, just as the opportunity for the Internet of Things (IoT), including automotive and medical design, begins to show real promise. Until this move, Mentor has larg... » read more
