How To Fix Common Power Problems
By Arvind Narayanan - 13 Aug, 2015 - Comments: 0

As the industry moves to ever more advanced technology nodes, managing power has emerged as a primary challenge in modern SoC design. With smaller nodes, the wires become taller and narrower, which increases the resistivity and leads to more pronounced voltage drop effects. Electro-migration effects are also more severe at advanced nodes, causing serious reliability concerns. Both RTL synthesis... » read more

NoC Reliability: Simplified
By Randy Smith - 26 Mar, 2015 - Comments: 0

Recently, the reliability features of on-chip network (NoC) IP have received much attention. One reason for this focus has been the rush of companies to get into the automotive electronics market and the explosion of new automotive features being implemented in electronic systems. While the details may vary, the high-level view of on-chip network reliability is really quite simple. At the ar... » read more

Automotive Drives Novel IP Demands

In the past the automotive industry was a bit sleepy when it came to technologic innovations. Clearly, this is no longer the case. The automotive segment is now driving interesting capabilities and an unprecedented level of creativity by the IP and SoC engineering teams targeting this now-dynamic sector. Historically, electronics for automotive was very different from those aimed at consumer... » read more

System-Aware SoC Power, Noise And Reliability Sign-off
By Ansys - 08 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

In globally competitive markets for mobile, consumer and automotive electronic systems, the critical success factors are power consumption, performance and reliability. To manage these conflicting requirements, design teams consider multiple options, including the use of advanced process technology nodes — especially FinFET-based devices. These advanced technology nodes allow chips to operate... » read more

How Reliable Is Your IP?
By Ed Sperling - 12 Sep, 2014 - Comments: 0

Almost everyone who has bought a new smartphone, car, home electronics device or appliance either has experienced technical glitches that require a replacement or repair, or they know someone who has experienced these problems. The good news is that only a very small fraction of the electronic glitches or failures can be contributed to hardware design. Most of it is due to manufacturing vari... » read more

How Effective Power Management Increases The Lifetime Operation Of Portable Medical Devices
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 09 Jul, 2014 - Comments: 0

To enable remote patient care and provide increased mobility in hospital settings portable medical devices, Personal Area Networks (PANs), and home health systems are seeing a significant increase in investment spending. When designing a portable medical device, decisions on processor and component selection are dependent on a range of variables which include performance, price, quality, and re... » read more

Is The Definition Of IC Reliability Changing?
By Matthew Hogan - 18 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 1

“You know, brain surgery's not difficult if you don't care whether the person dies, it's actually quite easy. Flying a plane is quite easy if you don't mind crashing. That's what hard means. It's an expression of how much you care about the result. And if you are proud of it, or you believe it can be good and you want it to be good, then it can be sort of infinitely hard, to the point where i... » read more
