Putting “Design” Back Into Design For Test In PCB Products
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 11 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

Design for manufacturing (DFM) has become a proactive part of the design process, but the same cannot be said for DFT. Whereas “left-shifting” DFM has reduced manufacturing problems, increased yield, reduced scrap levels, and simplified engineering rework, testability-related improvements have stayed flat during that same time. Unfortunately, as assembly costs have come down, and test-relat... » read more

The Week In Review: Design
By Jesse Allen - 08 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

Tools & IP Synopsys added machine learning capabilities to its Design Platform. The company highlighted benefits to the PrimeTime signoff tool, which saw 5X faster power recovery in customer designs at leading-edge geometries. Renesas is using the tool, noting a 4X power ECO speed-up. ArterisIP unveiled a standalone last level cache (LLC) for high-performance SoCs. CodaCache can be adde... » read more

Toward IIoT Security Standards
By Kevin Fogarty - 07 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

Security is a high priority within Industrial IoT projects, but it is advancing like the rest of the industry—inconsistently, with big gaps between the leaders and everyone else. That isn't unique to one or two industrial segments. It applies to all of them, and even to slices within particularly industries. "There is some confusion about security because it's not just the IT issues," s... » read more

Design Automation For Silicon Photonics: Pushing Research Into Production
By Chris Cone - 07 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

Silicon photonics is a transformative technology that will have a major impact on system architectures in future IC design applications. Already a major solution for Datacom applications and emerging applications in sensing, design techniques in silicon photonics, with the ability to leverage CMOS technology to integrate large numbers of photonic components, are now being applied to enable opti... » read more

18th Century Technology For Modern Medical IoT
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 06 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

Back in 1790, Luigi Galvani was dissecting a frog and noticed that he could cause its leg to move when touching a nerve with two probes. He called this phenomenon “animal electricity.” This concept was soon refined over time to become the voltaic cell, the foundation concept of the potato clock, fondly known by all engineers. Who knew that this cell would be leveraged to create an ingestibl... » read more

FPGAs Becoming More SoC-Like
By Ann Mutschler - 04 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 1

FPGAs are blinged-out rockstars compared to their former selves. No longer just a collection of look-up tables (LUTs) and registers, FPGAs have moved well beyond into now being architectures for system exploration and vehicles for proving a design architecture for future ASICs. This family of devices now includes everything from basic programmable logic all the way up to complex SoC devices.... » read more
