The Early Bird Gets More Secure Hardware
By Rob van Blommestein - 02 Sep, 2021 - Comments: 0

I’m sure you’ve heard the expression “The early bird gets the worm.” This proverb emphasizes the importance of starting something early to maximize the potential outcome. In terms of hardware security, this idiom is spot on. Cybersecurity shouldn’t only be about protecting the software from attacks. Hardware is just as important. Cyberattacks continue to advance significantly, prog... » read more

Consistent Test Reuse Across MIL, SIL, And HIL In A Model-Driven Development Workflow
By Siemens EDA - 01 Sep, 2021 - Comments: 0

This paper presents a standards-based, systematic, and automated generative MDD/XIL workflow that helps automotive developers develop their production ECU V&V suites early during software modeling and re-use them throughout the overall systems engineering project. The test cases developed during design can be re-used through to production ECU testing and ultimately for automated regression V&V ... » read more

Blog Review: Sept. 1
By Jesse Allen - 01 Sep, 2021 - Comments: 0

Arm's Fernando Garcia Redondo, Pranay Prabhat, and Mudit Bhargava continue their exploration of MRAM simulation by explaining stochasticity experiments and a characterization framework that focuses on the MRAM behavior statistical analysis. Siemens EDA's Neil Johnson shows how performance profiling can be used to identify testbench code that could slow down simulation and when to start using i... » read more

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

Steering The Semiconductor Industry
By Brian Bailey - 26 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 2

Progress in semiconductors has been one of the most successful engineering feats, and the industry has ridden an exponential curve longer than anything else in history. It is also a highly conservative industry that has pushed away many disruptive changes in favor of small incremental changes that minimize risk. There have been significant changes over the decades, and they often required a ... » read more

Connecting Teams With A Collaboration Hub In The Cloud
By Siemens EDA - 25 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Given the complexities inherent in both next-generation products and the underlying components used, effective collaboration is fundamental to successfully navigating the product creation journey. Teams that are better synchronized and aligned are far more likely to deliver a successful product to market on time and on budget. Explore how the Connect application extends the power of PADS Pro... » read more

Blog Review: Aug. 25
By Jesse Allen - 25 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Arm's Fernando Garcia Redondo, Pranay Prabhat, and Mudit Bhargava introduce an open source framework and compact model for the simulation, characterization, and analysis of MRAM magnetic tunnel junctions. Siemens EDA's Chris Spear continues the tutorial on SystemVerilog class variables with a look at how to use the $cast() system task to copy between base and derived class variables. Syno... » read more

Always On, Always At Risk
By Ed Sperling - 18 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Always-on devices are everywhere, and each of them is a potential target for hackers. While many people associate always-on devices with smart speakers such as an Amazon Alexa or Google Home, or a connected security camera, that's only one component in a system. There's a broader infrastructure behind those devices. So even if you power down a digital assistant/smart speaker, everything it's... » read more

Blog Review: Aug. 18
By Jesse Allen - 18 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Arm's Charlotte Christopherson explores the possibilities of flexible, non-silicon electronics with the creation of PlasticArm, an ultra-minimalist Cortex-M0-based SoC that, even with just 128 bytes of RAM and 456 bytes of ROM, is twelve times more complex than previous flexible electronics. Cadence's Claire Ying highlights the importance of integrity and data encryption (IDE) technology for... » read more
