Who Won the DesignVision Awards at DesignCon this year?

Who Won the DesignVision Awards at DesignCon this year?
by Daniel Payne on 02-07-2014 at 7:37 pm

The Seattle Seahawks had an awesome victory in the SuperBowl against the Denver Broncos, so folks living here in the Pacific Northwest are feeling proud and optimistic. The recent DesignConconference and exhibit ended 10 days ago and there were also victors announced in terms of the annual DesignVision awards that have three … Read More


Dual Advantage of Intelligent Power Integrity Analysis

Dual Advantage of Intelligent Power Integrity Analysis
by Pawan Fangaria on 02-03-2014 at 9:30 am

Often it is considered safer to be pessimistic in estimating IR-drop to maintain power integrity of semiconductor designs; however that leads to the use of extra buffering and routing resources which may not be necessary. In modern high speed, high density SoCs having multiple blocks, memories, analog IPs with different functionalities… Read More


Low Power @ DesignCon 2014

Low Power @ DesignCon 2014

Taking place annually in Silicon Valley, DesignCon is the premier educational conference and technology exhibition for electronic design engineers in the high speed communications and semiconductor communities.

Created by engineers for engineers, DesignCon is the largest gathering of chip, board and systems designersRead More


Mission Critical Role of Unmanned Systems – How to fulfill?

Mission Critical Role of Unmanned Systems – How to fulfill?
by Pawan Fangaria on 01-05-2014 at 11:30 am

Do we ever imagine what kind of severe challenges mission critical unmanned systems in air, land and underwater face? They are limited in space and size; have to be light in weight, flexible in different types of operations and at the same time rugged enough to work in extreme climatic conditions. That’s not enough; amidst these … Read More


How to Assure Quality of Power and SI Verification?

How to Assure Quality of Power and SI Verification?
by Pawan Fangaria on 12-08-2013 at 10:05 am

As power has become one of the most important criteria in semiconductor design today, I was wondering whether there is a standard set for the power verification for an overall chip. We do have formats evolved like CPF and UPF and there are tools available to check power and signal integrity (SI), however I don’t see a standard objective… Read More


Full Chip ESD Sign-off – Necessary

Full Chip ESD Sign-off – Necessary
by Pawan Fangaria on 11-13-2013 at 7:00 pm

As Moore’s law keeps going, semiconductor design density on a chip keeps increasing. The real concern today is that the shrinkage in technology node has rendered the small wire geometry and gate oxide thickness (although fine in all other perspectives) extremely vulnerable to ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) effects. More than… Read More


Layout-based ESD Checking Methodology at Nvidia

Layout-based ESD Checking Methodology at Nvidia
by Daniel Payne on 10-14-2013 at 12:43 pm

The company Nvidiais synonymous with designing all things video and GPU, so I watched Ting Ku, director of engineering at an archived webinar today talk about: Comprehensive Layout-based ESD Check Methodology with Fast Full-chip Static and Macro-level Dynamic Solutions.… Read More


ST Endorses PowerArtist with ARM Cores & FDSOI libs

ST Endorses PowerArtist with ARM Cores & FDSOI libs
by Pawan Fangaria on 10-01-2013 at 12:00 pm

It was an interesting webinar I attended, presented by STMicroelectronicson how they are benefited in power saving and thermal dissipation by using FDSOI technology and also by using PowerArtist in their design. So, it’s an advantage from both sides – semiconductor technology and semiconductor design tool. It’s worth attending… Read More


Xilinx At 28nm: Keeping Power Down

Xilinx At 28nm: Keeping Power Down
by Paul McLellan on 09-08-2013 at 2:26 pm

Almost without exception these days, semiconductor products face strict power and thermal budgets. Of course there are many issues with dynamic power but one big area that has been getting increasingly problematic is static power. For various technical reasons we can no longer reduce the voltage as much as we would like from one… Read More


Low-Power Design Webinar – What I Learned

Low-Power Design Webinar – What I Learned
by Daniel Payne on 09-02-2013 at 7:00 pm

You can only design and optimize for low-power SoC designs if you can actually simulate the entire Chip, Package and System together. The engineers at ANSYS-Apachehave figured out how to do that and talked about their design for power methodology in a webinar today. I listened to Arvind Shanmugavel present a few dozen slides and… Read More
