Electronic Design for Self-Driving Cars Center-Stage at DVCon India

Electronic Design for Self-Driving Cars Center-Stage at DVCon India
by Lauro Rizzatti on 11-01-2017 at 7:00 am

The fourth installment of DVCon India took place in Bangalore, September 14-15. As customary, it was hosted in the Leela Palace, a luxurious and tranquil resort in the center of Bangalore, and an excellent venue to host the popular event.

As reported in my previous DVCon India trip reports, the daily and evening traffic in Bangalore… Read More


1st Annual International Conference, Semiconductors ISO 26262

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


Good Library Hygiene Takes More Than an Occasional Scrub

Good Library Hygiene Takes More Than an Occasional Scrub
by Bernard Murphy on 10-26-2017 at 7:00 am

You don’t shower only before you have to go to an important meeting (teenagers excepted). Surgical teams go further, demanding a strict regimen of hygiene be followed before anyone is allowed into an operating room. Yet we tend to assume that libraries and physical IP (analog, memories, other physical blocks) are checked and pronounced… Read More


Silicon Creations talks about 7nm IP Verification for AMS Circuits

Silicon Creations talks about 7nm IP Verification for AMS Circuits
by Daniel Payne on 10-24-2017 at 12:00 pm

Designing at 7nm is a big deal because of the costs to make masks and then produce silicon that yields at an acceptable level, and Silicon Creations is one company that has the experience in designing AMS IP like: PLL, Serializer-Deserializer, IOs, Oscillators. Why design at 7nm? Lots of reasons – lower power, higher speeds,… Read More


Webinar: Optimizing QoR for FPGA Design

Webinar: Optimizing QoR for FPGA Design
by Bernard Murphy on 10-22-2017 at 12:00 pm

You might wonder why, in FPGA design, you would go beyond simply using the design tools provided by the FPGA vendor (e.g. Xilinx, Intel/Altera and Microsemi). After all, they know their hardware platform better than anyone else, and they’re pretty good at design software too. But there’s one thing none of these providers want to… Read More


Rethinking IP Lifecycle Management

Rethinking IP Lifecycle Management
by Daniel Payne on 10-18-2017 at 12:00 pm

We recently saw both Apple and Samsung introduce new smart phones, and realize that the annual race to introduce sophisticated devices that are attractive and differentiated is highly competitive. If either of these companies misses a market window then fortunes can quickly change. SoCs with billions of transistors like smart… Read More

This year is lucky number thirteen for ARM TechCon and it includes more than sixty hours of sessions plus more than one hundred ARM partners in the exposition. I will be signing free copies of our new book “Custom SoCs for IoT: Simplified”… 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


Reliability Signoff for FinFET Designs

Reliability Signoff for FinFET Designs
by Bernard Murphy on 10-17-2017 at 7:00 am

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
