Smoke Testing A High-Level Synthesis Design
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 27 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

Designing hardware using C++ and C++ testbenches brings orders of magnitude speed-up to simulation. But after High-Level Synthesis (HLS), teams need a way to quickly ensure that the newly-generated RTL is functionally the same as the original untimed C++. They don’t want to create an RTL testbench in order to make this comparison. What teams need is an automated smoke test to quickly make the... » read more

Blog Review: Feb. 27
By Jesse Allen - 27 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

Mentor's Harry Foster checks out the trends in language and library adoption for IC/ASIC designs and finds increased adoption of SystemVerilog for both design and verification while UVM remains the dominant verification methodology. Synopsys' Taylor Armerding chats with Chris Clark of Synopsys and Tim Weisenberger of SAE about the weakest points in automotive security and why it's time to mo... » read more

Using AI Data For Security
By Ann Mutschler - 20 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

Artificial intelligence is migrating from the cloud to IoT edge devices. Now the question is how to apply that same technology to protect data and identify abnormal activity in those devices and the systems connected to them. This is a complex problem because AI is being used on multiple fronts in this battle, as well as for multiple purposes. The technology has advanced to the point where e... » read more

Synopsys' Chirag Tyagi examines how Display Stream Compression 1.2 allows the commonly used MIPI DSI display interface to support 8k UHD displays in applications like infotainment and AR/VR even with the limited bandwidth of PHY layers. Cadence's Paul McLellan listens in on a panel discussion at DesignCon on how to create PDKs for silicon photonics so non-photonics experts can complete at le... » read more

Automated Analog Design Constraint Checking
By Hossam Sarhan - 14 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

By Hossam Sarhan and Alexandre Arriordaz Overview Analog integrated circuits (ICs) are used to control and regulate conditions such as temperature, speed, sound, and electrical current. In analog ICs, voltage and current vary continuously at specified points in the circuit. One of the biggest challenges in analog integrated circuit (IC) design is to achieve and maintain accurate ratios: cap... » read more

Adapting Mobile To A Post-Moore’s Law Era
By Ann Mutschler - 14 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

The slowdown in Moore's Law is having a big impact on chips designed for the mobile market, where battery-powered devices need to still improve performance with lower power. This hasn't slowed down performance or power improvements, but it has forced chipmakers and systems companies to approach designs differently. And while feature shrinks will continue for the foreseeable future, they are ... » read more

Why Analog Designs Fail
By Brian Bailey - 14 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 2

The gap between analog and digital reliability is growing, and digital designs appear to be winning. Reports show that analog content causes the most test failures and contributes significantly more than digital to field returns. The causes aren't always obvious, though. Some of it is due to the maturity of analog design and verification. While great strides have been made in digital circuit... » read more

Low Power Apps: Shaping The Future Of Low Power Verification
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 13 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

This paper describes how verification and design engineers can make use of UPF 3.0 information model-based HDL and Tcl APIs to write useful low-power apps. We present low-power apps that can be used to solve complex verification issues and provide case studies and examples to demonstrate usage. To read more, click here. » read more

Blockchain May Be Overkill for Most IIoT Security
By Kevin Fogarty - 13 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

Blockchain crops up in many of the pitches for security software aimed at the industrial IoT. However, IIoT project owners, chipmakers and OEMs should stick with security options that address the low-level, device- and data-centered security of the IIoT itself, rather than the effort to promote blockchain as a security option as well as an audit tool. Only about 6% of Industrial IoT (IIoT) p... » read more
