Solutions For Mixed-Signal IP, IC, And SoC Implementation
By Various Writers - 28 Mar, 2013 - Comments: 0

Traditional mixed-signal design environments, in which analog and digital parts are implemented separately, are no longer sufficient and lead to excess iteration and prolonged design cycle time. Realizing modern mixed-signal designs requires new flows that maximize productivity and facilitate close collaboration among analog and digital designers. This paper outlines mixed-signal implem... » read more

Raising The Stakes For IP
By Ed Sperling - 14 Feb, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling As the amount of IP in an SoC increases, so do the number of players who want to strengthen their position in this market. The big acquisitions that began several years ago over time have proved to be just opening salvos—something that was impossible to predict when this shift began. Synopsys’ purchase of Virage Logic and Cadence’s purchase of Denali, both of which occu... » read more

Exclusive Research: What’s Happening With Third-Party IP
By Ed Sperling - 27 Mar, 2009 - Comments: 0

Analog and mixed signal IP began closing the gap with digital core IP in design explorations in the first two months of this year, a clear sign that multicore systems on chip have emerged as the dominant semiconductor model and that the architecture requires both types of IP. While it’s too early to tell this year what effect that will have on overall design activity—the economy is the rea... » read more

Thinking Digital To Design Analog, And Vice Versa
By Ed Sperling - 27 Mar, 2009 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling Until several years ago, analog was a world apart from digital. Analog engineers could comfortably avoid many of the issues of Moore’s Law, viewing it as a costly bad habit with an equally bad outcome. Most analog engineers gloated privately that they could still develop chips at 250nm, or at worst 130nm, while their digital counterparts were struggling to keep up with is... » read more
