Customizing Processors
By Brian Bailey - 28 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 1

The design, verification, and implementation of a processor is the core competence of some companies, but others just want to whip up a small processor as quickly and cheaply as possible. What tools and options exist? Processors range from very small, simple cores that are deeply embedded into products to those operating at the highest possible clock speeds and throughputs in data centers. I... » read more

The Reliability Of Analog Integrated Circuits And Their Simulation-Aided Verification
By Andre Lange - 19 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

Different challenges have to be overcome when designing integrated circuits. Besides schematic and layout design work, verification in view of the non-ideal behavior of circuits and semiconductor technologies in particular is also relevant. The designed circuits have to work at specific operating voltages and within ambient temperature ranges and be robust in terms of process fluctuations ... » read more

Who Does Processor Validation?
By Brian Bailey - 27 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 1

Defining what a processor is, and what it is supposed to do, is not always as easy as it sounds. In fact, companies are struggling with the implications of hundreds of heterogenous processing elements crammed into a single chip or package. Companies have extensive verification methodologies, but not for validation. Verification is a process of ensuring that an implementation matches a specif... » read more

Enhance IC Reliability Design Verification With Coordinate-Based P2P And CD Checking
By Siemens EDA - 23 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Coordinate-based P2P and CD checks with the Calibre PERC reliability platform enable quick early-stage design verification of ESD protection and other IC reliability issues. Using coordinate-based checking minimizes the amount of rule deck coding required, enabling design teams to start Calibre PERC P2P/CD verification very quickly, and understand and debug the results easily. Because P2P/CD ch... » read more

Data Security Drives Innovative Verification Capabilities For SoCs
By Richard Pugh - 02 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

The protection and integrity of data is a key challenge for organizations and businesses as human interactions with computers have expanded enormously. This has created a vast amount of information and led to the age of “Big Data” where massive, rich data sets are collected and analyzed to advance knowledge and progress in multiple fields. The security of this data has become a critical nee... » read more

AI-Powered Verification
By Brian Bailey - 01 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 1

With functional verification consuming more time and effort than design, the chip industry is looking at every possible way to make the verification process more effective and more efficient. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are being tested to see how big an impact they can have. While there is progress, it still appears to be just touching the periphery of the problem... » read more

Verification And Validation Of Automotive Safety Element Out Of Context
By Synopsys - 01 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

With the increased use of electronics and software in the automotive systems, there are strict requirements for complex functions to perform safely and avoid causing damages to life and property in case of a failure. With the technology getting more complex, there are increasing risks from systematic failures and random hardware failures that need to be considered within the scope of functional... » read more

Building A Robust Hardware Security Program
By Tortuga Logic - 01 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Even mature chip development teams and processes aren’t immune to security errors. While many semiconductor and hardware manufacturing organizations have mature development processes, existing security testing practices, and formal signoff requirements, the complexity and duration of the chip lifecycle creates many opportunities for security issues to be overlooked. Semiconductors now play... » read more
