Webinar: High-Capacity Power Signoff Using Big Data
by Bernard Murphy on 11-07-2017 at 7:00 am

Want to know how NVIDIA signs off on power integrity and reliability on mega-chips? Read on.

PPA over-design has repercussions in increased product cost and potential missed schedules with no guarantee of product success. Advanced SoCs pack more functionality and performance resulting in higher power density, but traditional… Read More


Design Data Intelligence

Design Data Intelligence
by Bernard Murphy on 11-02-2017 at 7:00 am

We have an urge to categorize companies, and when our limited perspective is of a company that helps with design, we categorize it as an EDA company. That was my view of Magillem, but I have commented before that my view is changing. I’m now more inclined to see them more as the design equivalent of a business intelligence organization… Read More

1st Annual International Conference, Semiconductors ISO 26262
by Daniel Payne on 10-31-2017 at 12:00 pm

When we talk about the promise of ADAS and autonomous cars then along the way we also hear about this functional safety standard called ISO 26262 which semiconductor companies all pay close attention to. I recently learned about a new conference called Semiconductors ISO 26262, scheduled for December 5-7 in Munich, Germany. The… Read More


ARM Security Update for the IoT

ARM Security Update for the IoT
by Bernard Murphy on 10-31-2017 at 7:00 am

Despite all the enthusiastic discussion about security in the IoT and a healthy market in providers of solutions for the same, it is difficult to believe that we are doing more than falling further behind an accelerating problem. Simon Segars echoed this in his keynote speech at ARM TechCon this year. The issue may not be so much in… Read More

Nvidia’s Pegasus Putsch!
by Roger C. Lanctot on 10-29-2017 at 7:00 am

There hasn’t been this much excitement in Munich since the 1920’s. Nvidia’s great pivot was on display at the GPU Technology Conference Munich 2017. Digital dashboards are out and robotaxis are in as Nvidia narrows its focus on the tip of the automotive industry disruption spear.

To be clear, Nvidia is triangulating on the automotive… Read More


Getting A Handle On Your Automotive SoCs For ISO 26262

Getting A Handle On Your Automotive SoCs For ISO 26262
by Mitch Heins on 10-17-2017 at 12:00 pm

When it comes to safety and automotive systems, ISO 26262 is the standard by which system vendors are judged. As with all things the devil is in the details. To be compliant to the standard, design teams must have a well-defined and rigorous design and validation process in place that copiously documents all the requirements of their… Read More

Ansys recently hosted a webinar on reliability signoff for FinFET-based designs, spanning thermal, EM, ESD, EMC and aging effects. I doubt you’re going to easily find a more comprehensive coverage of reliability impact and analysis solutions. If you care about reliability in FinFET designs, you might want to check out this webinar.… Read More


This is How We Autonomous

This is How We Autonomous
by Roger C. Lanctot on 10-13-2017 at 12:00 pm

Some days it seems like the world is obsessed with autonomous vehicles. No one really understands why. Surveys tell us that consumers are both interested in and repelled by self-driving cars. What’s missing is the business model – the commercial reason for the existence of self-driving cars.

Today’s announced acquisition of Read More
