Blog Review: April 15
By Jesse Allen - 15 Apr, 2020 - Comments: 0

Mentor's Neil Johnson argues that it's time to reevaluate the current definition of verification methodology, with a new focus on methodologies driven by the needs of the design and best suited to different abstractions. Synopsys' Derek Handova warns that the need to manage the security risks of billions of IoT devices will continue to change the requirements and scope of 5G security. Cad... » read more

Power Management And Integration Of IPs In SoCs: Part 1
By Progyna Khondkar - 09 Apr, 2020 - Comments: 0

IPs – whether in the form of soft or hard macros – are the epicenter of today’s SoC designs. Integration of IP with low power designs and conducting power aware (PA) verification are always complex and cumbersome. Because most of these IPs are self-contained, pre-verified at the block level, and must be preserved in their totality when integrated or verified at the SoC level. Until UPF... » read more

Designing Ultra Low Power AI Processors
By Ann Mutschler - 09 Apr, 2020 - Comments: 0

AI chip design is beginning to shift direction as more computing moves to the edge, adding a level of sophistication and functionality that typically was relegated to the cloud, but in a power envelope compatible with a battery. These changes leverage many existing tools, techniques and best practices for chip design. But they also are beginning to incorporate a variety of new approaches tha... » read more

Power-Hungry Safety And Security
By Brian Bailey - 09 Apr, 2020 - Comments: 0

There is a price to pay for everything. When it comes to adding safety and security into a device, the costs in terms of power and area can be significant, but if the task is taken seriously, those costs can be managed and minimized. New analysis and implementation tools are coming to market that can also help to keep the costs contained. But it also requires the right mindset. As more indus... » read more

By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 08 Apr, 2020 - Comments: 0

This paper identifies and resolves the fundamental problems of integrating, hardening and verifying soft and hard macros in larger systems with a power aware DVIF perspective. To read more, click here. » read more

Blog Review: April 8
By Jesse Allen - 08 Apr, 2020 - Comments: 0

Synopsys' Taylor Armerding shares some tips for getting development, security, and operations teams communicating effectively and working toward a single purpose. Cadence's Paul McLellan looks back over computing history to how the best way to deliver computing resources has shifted from cloud to edge and back again. Mentor's Shivani Joshi shares an overview of flexible PCB designs and wh... » read more

Reliability Challenges Grow For 5/3nm
By Ed Sperling And Susan Rambo - 07 Apr, 2020 - Comments: 0

Ensuring that chips will be reliable at 5nm and 3nm is becoming more difficult due to the introduction of new materials, new transistor structures, and the projected use of these chips in safety- and mission-critical applications. Each of these elements adds its own set of challenges, but they are being compounded by the fact that many of these chips will end up in advanced packages or modul... » read more

The Need For Traceability In Auto Chips
By Anne Meixner - 07 Apr, 2020 - Comments: 4

Someday your car will drive itself to a repair shop for a recall using a scheduling application that is both efficient and can prioritize which vehicles need to be fixed first. But that's still a ways off. Proactive identification of issues is not yet available. To be ready for that, today’s data analytics systems need to begin supporting targeted recalls, enabling predictive maintenance a... » read more

Four Steps To ISO 26262 Safety Mechanism Insertion And Validation
By Ping Yeung - 02 Apr, 2020 - Comments: 1

By Ping Yeung, Jin Hou, Vinayak Desai, and Jacob Wiltgen The complexity of automotive integrated circuits (ICs) has grown exponentially with the introduction of advanced driver-assistance systems and autonomous-drive technologies. Directly correlated to this hike in complexity is the increased burden of ensuring an IC is protected from random hardware faults—functional failures that occur ... » read more

Tracking Automotive’s Rapidly Shifting Ecosystem
By Ann Mutschler - 02 Apr, 2020 - Comments: 0

The automotive ecosystem is becoming much harder to navigate as automakers, Tier 1s and IP vendors redefine their relationships based upon shifting value caused by an rapidly expanding amount of increasingly interdependent and complex electronic content. Predictions of massive change started almost a decade ago with a number of pilot programs around autonomous vehicles. But those shifts real... » read more
