The annual ITC event is happening this week in San Diego as semiconductor test professionals gather from around the world to discuss their emerging challenges and new approaches, so last week I had the opportunity to get an advance look at something new from Siemens named Tessent In-System Test software. Jeff Mayer, Product Manager,… Read More
I just read an interesting white paper on functional verification of analog blocks using SV-RNM (SystemVerilog real number modeling). The content is worth the effort to read closely as it elaborates a functional verification flow for RNM matching expectations for digital logic verification, from randomization to functional… Read More
I’ve been working with AMIQ EDA for several years, and have frequently been impressed by new capabilities in their Design and Verification Tools Integrated Development Environment (DVT IDE) family. They just announced AI Assistant, which leverages large language model (LLM) technology. LLMs are much in the news these days,… Read More
LLMs have amazing capabilities but inference run times grow rapidly with the size of the input (prompt) sequence, a significant weakness for some applications in engineering. State space models (SSMs) aim to correct this weakness. Paul Cunningham (GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl Camposano (Silicon Catalyst, entrepreneur,… Read More
It’s a fact of life that technology marches on. Older process nodes get replaced by newer ones. As a result, ASSPs and FPGAs are obsoleted, leaving behind large system design investments that need to re-done. Since many of these obsolete designs are performing well in the target application, this re-do task can be particularly … Read More
I was invited to the Fem.AI conference in Menlo Park, the first sponsored by the Cadence Giving Foundation with a goal to promote increased participation of women in the tech sector, especially in AI. Not just for equity, also to grow the number of people entering the tech/AI workforce. There are countless surveys showing that demand… Read More
Dan is joined by Amol Borkar, Product Marketing Director at Cadence. Since joining in 2018 as a senior product manager, he has led the development of many successful hardware and software products, including Tensilica’s latest Vision 331 and Vision 341 DSPs and 4DR accelerator targeted for various vision, automotive and AI edge… Read More
Most of the RISC-V action at the end of June was at the RISC-V Summit Europe, but not all. In fact, a group of well-informed and opinionated experts took over the Pavilion stage at the Design Automation Conference to discuss functional verification challenges for RISC-V and open-source IP.
Technology Journalist Ron Wilson and … Read More
As electric vehicles (EVs) gain widespread adoption, safety, reliability, and efficiency are becoming increasingly important. A crucial component in ensuring these aspects is the power module (PM), which manages the energy flow between the EV battery and the motor. The design of these power modules must not only meet the high-performance… Read More
