Paving the Path for Robust Electronic System Design

Paving the Path for Robust Electronic System Design
by Pawan Fangaria on 07-13-2014 at 7:30 pm

In today’s era of low power and high performance components, preferably on a single chip provides impetus to much larger electronic systems packaged into much smaller cases; smartphones are the immediate examples which encapsulate multiple functions other than the intended ones, viz. phone and data communication. As an example,… Read More


Intel Invests in the Fabless Ecosystem!

Intel Invests in the Fabless Ecosystem!
by Daniel Nenni on 06-22-2014 at 11:00 am

During my illustrious career one of the most useful axioms that I use just about everyday day is: “Understand what people say but also understand why they are saying it.” This certainly applies to press releases so let’s take a look at what Intel unleashed during #51DAC (in alphabetical order):

Noise-Coupled Analysis for Automotive ICs at DAC

Noise-Coupled Analysis for Automotive ICs at DAC
by Daniel Payne on 06-20-2014 at 2:00 pm

My favorite method to learn about EDA tools at DAC is by listening to actual IC designers, so on June 3rd I heard Jacob Bakker from NXP talk about his experience with noise coupled analysis for advanced mixed-signal automotive ICs.… Read More


Intel & Ansys Enable 14nm Chip Production

Intel & Ansys Enable 14nm Chip Production
by Pawan Fangaria on 06-20-2014 at 10:00 am

In the semiconductor industry, it feels great to hear about the process technology shrinking to lower nodes along with innovative transistor structures that offer major gains in PPA (Power, Performance and Area). However, it requires huge investment of capital, time and effort from foundries to conceptualize, prototype and… Read More


FinFET Based Designs Made Easy & Reliable

FinFET Based Designs Made Easy & Reliable
by Pawan Fangaria on 06-15-2014 at 11:00 am

Although semiconductor manufacturing has taken off with FinFET based process technology which provides lucrative payoffs on performance improvement, power reduction and area saving in devices for high density and high performance SoC demand of modern era, apprehensions remain about its reliability due to reduced noise … Read More


RedHawk Excels – Customers Endorse

RedHawk Excels – Customers Endorse
by Pawan Fangaria on 05-28-2014 at 11:00 am

Since a few years, I have been following up Ansys Apachetools for semiconductor design, verification and sign-off. RedHawk is the most prominent platform of tools from Ansys, specifically for Power, Noise and Reliability Sign-off. It has witnessed many open endorsements from several of Ansyscustomers through open presentations,… Read More

Register to hear industry experts from top semiconductor companies share their best practices that enable the next generation of high-performance, low power designs for mobile, automotive and other applications. Meet our technologists for in-depth presentations, case studies and demos on the industry’s leading simulation… Read More


IC Power Noise Reliability for FinFET Designs

IC Power Noise Reliability for FinFET Designs
by Daniel Payne on 05-06-2014 at 9:07 am

Reliability for ICs is a big deal because the last thing that you want to do is ship a new part only to find out later in the field that there are failures not being caught by testing. I’ve already had two consumer products fail this year because of probable reliability issues: My MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM started rebooting caused… Read More


LSI’s Way of Faster & Reliable Electronic System Design

LSI’s Way of Faster & Reliable Electronic System Design
by Pawan Fangaria on 05-05-2014 at 9:30 am

LSI Corporationstarted in 1980s and I had several encounters with it during my jobs in 1990s; not to forget the LSI chips I used to see in desktops and other electronic systems, and I’m happy to see LSI continuing today with more vigour having leadership position in storage and networking space. It provides highly reliable, high … Read More


IC/Package/Board – Power, Noise and Reliability from ANSYS (Apache DA) at DAC

IC/Package/Board – Power, Noise and Reliability from ANSYS (Apache DA) at DAC
by Daniel Payne on 04-30-2014 at 10:04 am

ANSYS acquired Apache Design Automation back in June 2011and three years later the name “Apache” is being subdued in favor of using just ANSYS. One thing that I noticed right away was a DACfocus on having actual ANSYS customers talk about their hands-on experience using the EDA tools. The following seven customers… Read More
