It Takes A Village To Get A Design Done

By Ciarán Dunne - 18 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

No one lacks for brilliant ideas these days. In fact, it’s a golden age of innovation. But where the pace of innovation can slow is getting that idea to market. Take for example, the case of one of S3 Semiconductors' customers.. It recently developed a custom chip solution for a company in the oil and gas industry that was creating complex valve controllers that sensed pressure and tempera... » read more

FPGAs Becoming More SoC-Like

By Ann Mutschler - 04 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 1

FPGAs are blinged-out rockstars compared to their former selves. No longer just a collection of look-up tables (LUTs) and registers, FPGAs have moved well beyond into now being architectures for system exploration and vehicles for proving a design architecture for future ASICs. This family of devices now includes everything from basic programmable logic all the way up to complex SoC devices.... » read more

How SoC Interconnect Enables Flexible Architecture For ADAS And Autonomous Car Designs

By Kurt Shuler - 22 Feb, 2018 - Comments: 0

When the mobile phone era saw its fastest growth, the design teams that were the most innovative were able to introduce game-changing features before anyone else. Those companies also had the most configurable interconnect IP, allowing them to adapt to quickly changing market needs faster than their competition. Now, nearly a decade later, when autonomous driving is quickly moving into the m... » read more

AI And Machine Learning Drive New SoC Verification Choices

By Frank Schirrmeister - 22 Feb, 2018 - Comments: 0

I have previously written about the choices that design teams have when choosing specific verification engines—virtual, formal, simulation, emulation, FPGA and actual silicon. As a new class of SoC is emerging for machine learning and artificial intelligence with complexities previously unheard of, they further deepen the challenge of choosing the right tool for the job. Even the choice betwe... » read more
