The Limits Of Energy Harvesting
By Ed Sperling and Kevin Fogarty - 09 May, 2019 - Comments: 4

Energy harvesting, once considered an inexpensive alternative to low-power design and a way of achieving nearly unlimited power in mobile devices, has settled down to more modest expectations. This approach to generating energy through a variety of means—from solar to motion to ambient RF and even pH differences between soil and trees—has been proven to work. The problem is that it doesn... » read more

Raising The Abstraction Level For Power
By Brian Bailey - 09 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

Power-aware design is still a relatively new concern for many semiconductor products, and since inception it has changed several times and in different ways. Initially people were concerned about peak power. Today, they care about peak, total energy, thermal and other effects. The industry has tried several abstractions ranging from system-level analysis, which promised to swamp implementati... » read more

Selecting A Portable Stimulus Application Focal Point
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 08 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

The "axes of reuse" are a powerful way to identify a focal point for your application of Portable Stimulus. Picking a focal point helps to identify needed resources and identify the gap between what is needed and what already exists in your organization. Picking an initial focal point for applying Portable Stimulus doesn’t preclude expanding the application of Portable Stimulus in the future.... » read more

DAC: An Exhibitor’s Perspective
By Diana Dearin - 08 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

It is less than four weeks to DAC. At this point you should be deep into your planning and ready to drop down secure all your exhibit services before the deadline. While you are thinking about how to manage all the details of getting your booth on the show floor, this is a great time to take a step back and make sure you have clearly defined exhibit “takeaways” — think “goals” and ... » read more

Blog Review: May 8
By Jesse Allen - 08 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

Synopsys' Taylor Armerding warns that the threat of cyber war on the financial system is a real possibility and points to four major vulnerability concerns. Cadence's Meera Collier takes a look at bees and technology, from smart hives to sensors that can be carried on the insects' backs. Mentor's Brent Klingforth argues that electrical and mechanic designers need to seamlessly share infor... » read more

Breakthrough For Scan Diagnosis With Machine Learning
By Matthew Knowles - 07 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

Cell-aware diagnosis is a new and effective way to detect defects inside standard cells. Industry standard failure analysis (FA) results from a major foundry show that cell-aware diagnosis is very effective at increasing the resolution of the diagnosis by reducing the number of suspects in cell-internal defect data. With advanced technology nodes, we have more complex layout structures and f... » read more

Gaps Emerge In Automotive Test
By Ed Sperling - 07 May, 2019 - Comments: 1

Demands by automakers for zero defects over 18 years are colliding with real-world limitations of testing complex circuitry and interactions, and they are exposing a fundamental disconnect between mechanical and electronic expectations that could be very expensive to fix. This is especially apparent at leading-edge nodes, where much of the logic is being developed for AI systems and image se... » read more

Make Your Own Energy
By Ann Mutschler - 02 May, 2019 - Comments: 2

Regenerative braking and other forms of energy capture are becoming more popular and increasingly effective. What started as a way of increasing the range of electric or hybrid vehicles is now being applied to everything from green buildings to industrial robots. The automotive industry is still the main driver of this technology. The idea that braking can generate energy has been around for... » read more

Three Tools Help Put Safe Vehicles On The Road
By Richard Pugh - 02 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

By Richard Pugh and Gabriele Pulini As the ultimate systems-of-systems, automated vehicles present an enormous verification task, requiring verification of complex sensing, computing, and actuating functions. This can be accomplished only by virtualizing the entire system: the vehicle and the environment it moves through. It also requires a combination of realistic scenario modeling, hard... » read more

Creating A Roadmap For Hardware Security
By Kevin Fogarty and Ed Sperling - 02 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

The U.S. Department of Defense and private industry consortiums are developing comprehensive and cohesive cybersecurity plans that will serve as blueprints for military, industrial and commercial systems. What is particularly noteworthy in all of these efforts is the focus on semiconductors. While software can be patched, vulnerabilities such as Spectre, Meltdown and Foreshadow need to be de... » read more
