Making Batteries Denser And Safer
By Ann Mutschler - 07 Oct, 2021 - Comments: 0

Battery technology is improving swiftly, driven by the rapidly rising demand for electric vehicles and the vast body of knowledge developed by the semiconductor industry. The market for electric vehicles (EVs) is on a fast upward trajectory, with global sales predicted to grow more than 12 times to more than 31 million vehicles. In fact, EVs will account for almost a third of new vehicle sal... » read more

Reliable And Efficient Compact Models For Scalable MTJ Simulation
By Fernando Garcia Redondo - 09 Sep, 2021 - Comments: 0

By Fernando García Redondo, Pranay Prabhat, and Mudit Bhargava Since its discovery in 1975, Tunnel-Magneto-Resistance (TMR) has been actively investigated. From the 2000s, advances in process technologies have made the miniaturization of Magnetic Random Access Memories (MRAMs) based on TMR devices possible, together with integration into traditional CMOS processes. Introducing magneti... » read more

Physics-Based Sensor Validation Via Ansys: Driving New Automotive Innovations
By Ansys - 13 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Autonomous driving is revolutionizing the global automotive industry. With every new model, cars are smarter and more capable of independently responding to external signals like lane markings, highway signs, other cars and pedestrians. However, formulating a correct response via artificial intelligence depends on flawless sensor performance. With so many sensors supporting the advanced driv... » read more

10X Higher Productivity With VCS Dynamic Test Loading
By Synopsys - 11 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

The verification of a system-on-chip (SoC) is becoming increasingly complex, due to the multitude of functionality being implemented on a single chip. Different verification techniques are required at each level (IP, block, SoC and system) for faster verification closure. A successful verification strategy requires reuse of functional tests, faster test development and faster debug to improve t... » read more

RISC-V Verification: The 5 Levels Of Simulation-Based Processor Hardware DV
By Lee Moore - 29 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 1

By Lee Moore and Simon Davidmann The RISC-V open standard ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) offers developers the opportunity to configure the features and functions of a custom processor to uniquely address their target end application needs and requirements. RISC-V has a modular structure with many standard instruction extensions for additional dedicated hardware features such as Floating... » read more

Cell Library Verification Using Symbolic Simulation
By Hari Sathianathan - 07 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

Standard cell libraries have been a mainstay of chip design for many decades since the inception of logic synthesis and composition methodologies. Cell library IP typically contains Verilog models describing the cell functionality, schematic derived transistor level netlists, place and route views, physical layout views, post-layout extracted netlists as well as characterized timing and power m... » read more

Using Model-Based Systems Engineering To Design Complex Systems
By Anthony Dawson - 10 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

By Anthony Dawson and Jane Trenaman The benefits of using simulation early and often in the product development process are clear. You can verify requirements and begin studying and exploring design alternatives before prototyping and investing time in designs that ultimately won’t meet requirements. What may not be clear is how to integrate all the simulation tools that different engineer... » read more

EDA In The Cloud
By Ann Mutschler - 09 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

Hagai Arbel, CEO of Vtool, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about the benefits of moving EDA tools to the cloud, why it has been slow to take off, and what will drive this trend in the future. » read more
