Blog Review: Apr. 11
By Jesse Allen - 11 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

Mentor's Dennis Brophy looks at how the black box nature of IP means it's hard to tell if a block is free from security risks, even if verification IP and open-source design code can help. Synopsys' Sri Deepti Pisipati explains Panel Self Refresh, a power saving mechanism in Display Port that allows for turning off the video processor and its circuitry when an image is static. Cadence's P... » read more

New Shifts In Automotive Design
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 1

Four big shifts in automotive design and usage are beginning to converge—electrification, increasing connectivity, autonomous driving and car sharing—creating a ripple effect across the automotive electronics supply chain. Over the past few years the electronic content of cars and other vehicles has surged, with electrical systems replacing traditional mechanical and electro-mechanical s... » read more

How To Choose The Right Memory
By Ann Mutschler - 02 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

When it comes to designing memory, there is no such thing as one size fits all. And given the long list of memory types and usage scenarios, system architects must be absolutely clear on the system requirements for their application. A first decision is whether or not to put the memory on the logic die as part of the SoC, or keep it as off-chip memory. "The tradeoff between latency and th... » read more

Blog Review: March 28
By Jesse Allen - 28 Mar, 2018 - Comments: 0

Mentor's Joe Hupcey III and Jin Hou explain how to use the Open Verification Language (OVL) library of assertions to build an effective formal testbench. In a video, Cadence's Marc Greenberg discusses the benefits of moving non-volatile memory from the SSD to the DDR bus and possible new storage-class memories. Synopsys' Anders Nordstrom argues that security can no longer be ignored when ... » read more

Going Deep Or Broad With Formal?
By Ann Mutschler - 28 Mar, 2018 - Comments: 0

Whether to apply [getkc id="33" comment="formal verification"] technology to semiconductor design broadly or deeply is a tough question. It hinges on what is the best way to achieve maximum ROI. Do you want to identify hard to find bugs, and get a certain level of confidence about a block? Where should the effort be placed? Is it by going deep, meaning a team of specialists or experts must b... » read more

When AI Goes Awry
By Ed Sperling - 26 Mar, 2018 - Comments: 0

The race is on to develop intelligent systems that can drive cars, diagnose and treat complex medical conditions, and even train other machines. The problem is that no one is quite sure how to diagnose latent or less-obvious flaws in these systems—or better yet, to prevent them from occurring in the first place. While machines can do some things very well, it's still up to humans to devise... » read more
