Industry Pressure Grows For Simulating Systems Of Systems
By Brian Bailey - 28 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

Most complex systems are designed in a top-down manner, but as the amount of electronic content in those systems increases, so does the pressure on the chip industry to provide high-level models and simulation capabilities. Those models either do not exist today, or they exist in isolation. No matter how capable a model or simulator, there never will be one that can do it all. In some cases,... » read more

Use Tcl To Save Signals More Efficiently In AMS Simulations
By Qingyu Lin - 28 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

Saving signal waveforms during a simulation is one of the basic ways to check the simulation results. However, with large SoC designs, it’s not always practical to save all signals during simulation, and the simulation performance might also be impacted by the number of signals being saved. Therefore, a crucial part of the simulation setup is to specify the expected and essential signals to s... » read more

Jumping Over Thermal Cycles Accelerates Thermomechanical Fatigue Simulations
By Tim Palucka - 14 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

Although you are probably not aware of them, dozens of electronic control units (ECUs) — printed circuit boards (PCBs) in metal or plastic housings — exist in your car to control and monitor the operation and safety of your vehicle’s many control systems. These units must work for the lifetime of your car, during which time they are subjected to many heating and cooling cycles. The most o... » read more

Designing Vehicles Virtually
By John Koon - 07 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

The shift toward software-defined vehicles (SDVs), electric vehicles (EVs), and ultimately autonomous vehicles (AVs) is proving the value and exposing the weaknesses in simulating individual components and complete vehicles. The ability to model this intensely complex maze of real-world interactions and possible scenarios is improving, and it's happening faster than comparable road-testing o... » read more

AI, Rising Chip Complexity Complicate Prototyping
By Karen Heyman - 24 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

Prototyping, an essential technology for designing complex chips in tight market windows, is becoming significantly more challenging for the growing number of designs that include AI/ML. Prototyping remains one of the foundational pillars of the whole shift left movement, allowing software to be developed and tested before actual silicon is available. That, in turn, enables multiple teams t... » read more

New Technology Accelerates Multi-Die System Simulation
By Taruna Reddy - 27 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 0

AI-powered chatbots. Robotic manufacturing equipment. Self-driving cars. Bandwidth-intensive applications like these are flourishing—and driving the move from monolithic system-on-chips (SoCs) to multi-die systems. By integrating multiple dies, or chiplets, into a single package, designers can achieve scaling of system functionality at reduced risk and with faster time to market. Multi-die... » read more

Balancing AI And Engineering Expertise In The Fab
By Laura Peters - 28 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 1

Modeling and simulation are playing increasingly critical roles in chip development due to tighter process specs, shrinking process windows, and fierce competition to bring technologies to market first. Before a new device makes it to high-volume manufacturing, there are countless engineering hours spent on developing the lithography, etching, deposition, CMP, and many other processes, at hi... » read more

Overcoming Regression Debug Challenges With Machine Learning
By Robert Ruiz - 22 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

Development of a modern semiconductor requires running many electronic design automation (EDA) tools many times over the course of the project. Every stage, from architectural exploration and design to final implementation and manufacturing preparation, has multiple methodology loops that must be repeated again and again. Even in such a complex development flow, functional simulation stands ... » read more
