Adding Differentiating Value And Reducing IP Integration Time for Your SoC
By Synopsys - 06 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

In the most efficient SoC design processes, semiconductor companies design their own, differentiated IP blocks, acquire high-quality third-party IP, configure it in an SoC-optimized way, and integrate all blocks into the SoC infrastructure of clocks, voltage supplies, on-chip buffer memories or registers, and test circuits. The SoC design team defines and drives the SoC-specific implementation ... » read more

A Holistic Approach To Energy-Efficient System-On-Chip (SoC) Design
By Synopsys - 10 May, 2022 - Comments: 0

It takes a great deal of energy to power the modern world, and demand grows every day. This is especially true for electronics, where ever increasing automation and more intelligent devices incessantly demand more power. Many applications that use chips face a variety of pressures for reduced power consumption and better energy efficiency. In response, the semiconductor and electronic design au... » read more

Accelerating Software Development With Fast Virtual Prototypes
By Synopsys - 12 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Most of today's largest semiconductor devices are highly complex system on chip (SoC) designs, which means that they include one or more embedded processors. This indicates that software provides some of the key functionality of the chip. The system cannot be fully verified or validated without both hardware and software. However, software development generally takes more time and resources to ... » read more

What You Should Consider When Choosing A Processor IP Core
By Codasip - 21 Apr, 2021 - Comments: 0

Most integrated circuits include at least one processor core and some embedded software. In the case of more complex systems-on-chip (SoC), there may be application processors running the main software, and operating system plus multiple specialised subsystems handling functions such as communications, security, and sensors. Requirements for processing vary considerably and there is a wide choi... » read more

Does System Design Still Need Abstraction?
By Frank Schirrmeister - 24 Oct, 2019 - Comments: 0

About 15 years ago, the assumption in the EDA industry was that system design would be inevitable. The transition from gate-level design to a new entry point at the register transfer level (RTL) seemed complete with logic synthesis becoming well-adopted. The next step seemed to be so obvious at the time: High-level synthesis (HLS) and transaction-based development beyond RTL—also taking into ... » read more

Opposites Attract: IP Standardization vs. Customization
By eSilicon - 25 Sep, 2019 - Comments: 0

Have you had a look lately at an autonomous driving SoC? Have you noticed, besides the cool machine learning stuff, the grocery list of third-party IP that goes into it? It is a long, long list, composed of pieces both big and small and quite diverse. For example, interface and peripheral PHYs and controllers, memories, on-chip interconnects, PVT monitors and PLLs. In some highly-publicized exa... » read more

Challenges To Building Level 5 Automotive Chips
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Sep, 2019 - Comments: 0

It’s an exciting time in the automotive space, and this is especially true when it comes to all of the activity around autonomous driving and the path to achieving full Level 5 autonomy. The technology is complex, the ecosystem seems to get more complex by the day, and simulating autonomous systems safely makes this an extremely fascinating area from an engineering perspective. At the heart o... » read more

A Complete System-Level Security Verification Methodology
By Cadence - 04 Sep, 2019 - Comments: 0

Hardware is at the root of all digital systems, and security must be considered during the system-on-chip (SoC) design and verification process. Verifying the security of an SoC design is challenging because of time to market pressure and resource constraints. Resources allocated to the already time-consuming task of functional verification must be diverted to security verification, which requi... » read more

The Power Of Virtual Prototyping
By Arm - 12 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

As embedded SoCs continue to become more powerful and complex, beating the market may very well rely on non-traditional approaches to product design and development. Software-based methodologies involving virtual prototypes are helping to prove out designs earlier and enable companies to parallelize hardware and software development.
