Modeling Chips From Atoms To Systems
By Ann Mutschler - 26 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 1

Complexity in hardware design is spilling over to other disciplines, including software, manufacturing, and new materials, creating issues for how to model more data at multiple abstraction levels. Challenges are growing around which abstraction level to use for a particular stage of the design, when to use it, and which data to include. Those decisions are becoming more difficult at each ne... » read more

800G Ethernet MACsec Integration And Verification
By Cadence - 25 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Ethernet is the interconnect technology of choice for a wide range of applications including (but not limited to) data centers, wireless backhaul, automotive, artificial intelligence (AI), and many other use cases. It is ubiquitous. As bandwidth requirements continue to scale to ever-dizzying heights due to the proliferation of data-intensive applications, developing, integrating, and validatin... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Susan Rambo - 20 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Security Infineon Technologies is coordinating a group of twelve partners, including researchers, electronics industry, and end users, who are working to find and fix IoT security flaws. The research project, called “Design methods and hardware/software co-verification for the unique identifiability of electronic components” falls under VE-VIDES, which is part of the Trustworthy Electronic... » read more

Lowering Energy Per Bit
By Ann Mutschler - 12 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Energy is emerging as a focal point in chip and system design, but solving energy-related issues needs to be dealt with on a much broader scale than design teams typically see. Energy is the amount of power consumed over a period of time to perform a given task, but reducing energy is a lot different than reducing power. It affects everything from operational costs and system performance to ... » read more

Adding Circuit Aging To Variability
By Brian Bailey - 12 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Moving to a smaller node usually means another factor becomes important. The industry has become accustomed to doing process, temperature, voltage (PVT) corner analysis, but now it has to add aging into that mix. The problem is that planning for circuit aging is no longer a purely statistical process. Aging is dependent on activity over the lifetime of the device. Tools need to be modified a... » read more

Automotive Lidar Technologies Battle It Out
By Bryon Moyer - 05 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 1

Lidar is likely to be added to the list of sensors that future cars will use to help with navigation and safety, but most likely it won't be the large rotating mirror assembly on the top of vehicles. Newer solid-state radar technologies are being researched and developed, although it’s not yet clear which of these will win. “The benefits of lidar technology are well known dating back to ... » read more

This white paper examines the recent advances that the modeling, simulation, and design automation capabilities in Cadence® AWR® software are helping designers develop the antenna and RF front-end components that are making 5G a reality. This primer offers a breadth of application notes on the innovative wizards and synthesis technologies that enable engineers designing 5G communications syst... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Susan Rambo - 30 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

Automotive SGS-TÜV Saar certified that Cadence’s Tensilica Xtensa processors with FlexLock meets the ISO 26262:2018 standard to ASIL-D level. The new FlexLock feature is key to the certification because it supports lockstep, a fault-tolerant method that runs the same operation on two cores at the same time and then compares the output. Any difference in the output can be examined for issues... » read more

Sweeping Changes Ahead For Systems Design
By Ann Mutschler - 29 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

Data centers are undergoing a fundamental change, shifting from standard processing models to more data-centric approaches based upon customized hardware, less movement of data, and more pooling of resources. Driven by a flood of web searches, Bitcoin mining, video streaming, data centers are in a race to provide the most efficient and fastest processing possible. But because there are so ma... » read more

RF To Millimeter-Wave Front-End Component Design Trends For 5G Communications
By Cadence - 28 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

This white paper discusses design challenges and solutions related to the "third wave" of communications, presenting several case studies in which the Cadence AWR Design Environment platform has been used to develop products for 5G and beyond. Examples include a multiband active antenna tuner for cellular internet of things (IoT) machine-type communications (mMTC) applications, a linear power a... » read more
