Dassault #51DAC Assault!

Dassault #51DAC Assault!
by Daniel Nenni on 05-10-2014 at 9:00 pm

This is one of the most aggressive DAC appearances I have seen from Dassault, absolutely. Dassault Systèmes is branded as the: 3D EXPERIENCE Company that provides virtual universes to imagine sustainable innovations. Its world-leading solutions transform the way products are designed, produced, and supported. Dassault … Read More


Selecting the Right Standard Cell & Memory for 28HPM DSP core: real case with CEVA XC4210

Selecting the Right Standard Cell & Memory for 28HPM DSP core: real case with CEVA XC4210
by Eric Esteve on 05-09-2014 at 11:14 am

Listening to a webinar at your desk, in front of a PC screen will never replace a live presentation, but the lesson learned to time spent ratio can be incredibly higher than when traveling to a conference to listen several presentation. If you are interested by the approach taken by a complex DSP design team to overcome the various … Read More


Analog and Full Chip Simulation at Micron

Analog and Full Chip Simulation at Micron
by Daniel Payne on 05-08-2014 at 12:50 pm

IDM companies like Micronuse SPICE circuit simulators during the design phase in order to predict timing, currents and power on their custom IC chip designs at the transistor level. A senior memory design engineer at Micron named Raed Sabbahtalked today at a webinarabout how the embedded solutions group uses the FineSimcircuit… Read More


What Executives Say About IP Licensing

What Executives Say About IP Licensing
by Pawan Fangaria on 05-08-2014 at 7:00 am

In the fabless world of semiconductor design, IP components have become indispensable partners and have enabled the development of complex billion gate SoCs. IP business in general is exhibiting a very high growth rate since couple of years and it is going to increase; the same is being reflected by a growing number of IP vendors… Read More


Intel is Still Missing Mobile!

Intel is Still Missing Mobile!
by Daniel Nenni on 05-07-2014 at 9:00 am

Paul McLellan was on assignment in Hong Kong last week so I attended the Linley Mobile Conference and was not surprised Intel did not present. During the networking sessions I asked more than a dozen people why and the answers were pretty focused on “Intel still does not play well with others” and “Intel’s current mobile offerings… Read More


The Matrix, your ultimate OPC

The Matrix, your ultimate OPC
by Beth Martin on 05-06-2014 at 12:47 pm

One of the many consequences of shrinking process nodes is that traditional OPC can no longer achieve good pattern fidelity with reasonable turn-around-time. But there is a solution; we made it ourselves and call it matrix OPC.

First, let’s explore the problems with traditional optical proximity correction (OPC) when applied… 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


Flexible Integration System for IPs into SoC

Flexible Integration System for IPs into SoC
by Pawan Fangaria on 05-06-2014 at 7:30 am

The number of IPs with growing complexity and heterogeneity is ever increasing (counting into hundreds) to be integrated into a single SoC. It’s not possible to have them all available at once and in a single repository for the integration engineers to assemble all of them together and integrate into the SoC. The reality is that … 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


Hardware/Software Debug

Hardware/Software Debug
by Paul McLellan on 05-04-2014 at 10:59 pm

One of the big challenges with modern SoCs is that they have a complex software component as well as the hardware itself being complex. Some aspects of the hardware can be debugged independently of the software and vice versa, but often it is not immediately clear whether the source of a problem is hardware, software or some interaction… Read More
