Balancing quality with speed

In a field as white-hot as AI it can be difficult to separate cheerleading from reality. I am as enthusiastic as others about the potential but not the “AI everywhere in everything” message that some emphasize. So it was interesting to find a survey which looks at the deployment reality outside our narrow domain of electronic and … Read More

Increase DFT coverage

Siemens recently released a white paper on a methodology to enhance test coverage for designs with tight DPPM requirements. I confess when I first skimmed the paper, I thought this was another spin on fault simulation for ASIL A-D qualification, but I was corrected and now agree that while there are some conceptual similarities… Read More
