Lowering Costs for Custom SoC Development – ARM and Tanner EDA

Lowering Costs for Custom SoC Development – ARM and Tanner EDA
by Daniel Payne on 03-31-2017 at 12:00 pm

Cost is a major barrier when an electronic design company starts to consider developing a custom SoC for a particular market segment. But what if there was a way to lower the development cost, or even get to an SoC proof of concept for no cost except of course for your engineering expenses? That value proposition caught my attention… Read More


How to Design a Custom SoC with Analog, webinar from ARM and Tanner EDA

How to Design a Custom SoC with Analog, webinar from ARM and Tanner EDA
by Daniel Payne on 03-23-2017 at 12:00 pm

Leading edge SoC designs can contain billions of transistors, cost over $10M to design, and take over 18 months to deliver, but not all SoCs require that much complexity, cost and time. In fact, there is a growing class of SoC designs that integrate the popular ARM Cortex-M0 processor along with analog blocks that work with sensors… Read More


Unlocking Access to SOC’s for IoT Edge Product Developers

Unlocking Access to SOC’s for IoT Edge Product Developers
by Tom Simon on 03-13-2017 at 4:00 pm

In the wake of the many mega mergers and consolidation in the semiconductor and electronics space, it is easy to say that opportunities for smaller companies are shrinking. Indeed, quite the opposite might be true. The larger companies, like Broadcom, ARM, Qualcomm, Analog Devices, Microchip, Maxim and Infineon (to name a few)… Read More


Help for Automotive and Safety-critical Industries

Help for Automotive and Safety-critical Industries
by Daniel Payne on 03-10-2017 at 12:00 pm

I’ve been an Electrical Engineer and a car driver since 1978, so I’ve always been attracted to how the automotive industry designs cars to be safer for me and everyone else around the globe. According to statistics compiled by the CDCI learned that some 33,700 Americans died by motor vehicle crashes in 2014, which is… Read More


Searching for Extraterrestrials

Searching for Extraterrestrials
by NicolasWilliams on 02-24-2017 at 7:00 am

Since the beginning of time, people on Earth have peered into the night sky, pondering if they were alone in the universe. Today, we have a large group of scientists that are working to answer that question. The precision required for their search often depends on the performance of a key piece of technology – the analog-to-digital… Read More


"Ten-hut!" Attending the Signal Integrity Bootcamp

"Ten-hut!" Attending the Signal Integrity Bootcamp
by Tom Dillinger on 02-21-2017 at 12:00 pm

The engineering team for the design and analysis of a complex system consists of a diverse set of skills — with the increasing emphasis on both high-speed interface design and multi-domain power management, a critical constituent of the team is the group of signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) engineers.

The training… Read More


Mentor gets Busy at DVCon

Mentor gets Busy at DVCon
by Bernard Murphy on 02-20-2017 at 12:00 pm

You’d expect Mentor to be covering a lot of bases at DVCon and you wouldn’t be wrong. They’re hosting tutorials, a lunch, papers, posters, there’s a panel and of course they’ll be on the exhibit floor. I’ll start with an important tutorial that you really should attend, Monday morning, on creating Portable Stimulus Models… Read More


Mentor Plays for Keeps in Emulation

Mentor Plays for Keeps in Emulation
by Bernard Murphy on 02-17-2017 at 7:00 am

EDA has always been a fiercely competitive market, no more so than in emulation where the clash of claims and counter-claims can leave those of us on the sidelines wondering who’s really on top. Sales are the obvious indicator but leadership there flips back and forth between product releases. That makes Mentor’s choice to play … Read More


Four Barriers to Using an SoC for IoT Projects

Four Barriers to Using an SoC for IoT Projects
by Daniel Payne on 02-16-2017 at 12:00 pm

I often read about the large number of expected IoT design starts around the world, so I started to think about what the barriers are for launching this industry in order to meet the projections. One of my favorite IoT devices is the Garmin Edge 820, a computer for cyclists that has sensors for speed, cadence, power, heart rate, altitude… Read More


Finding Transistor-level Defects Inside of Standard Cells

Finding Transistor-level Defects Inside of Standard Cells
by Daniel Payne on 01-31-2017 at 12:00 pm

In the earliest days of IC design the engineering work was always done at the transistor-level, and then over time the abstraction level moved upward to gate-level, cell-level, RTL level, IP reuse, and high-level modeling abstractions. The higher levels of abstraction have allowed systems to be integrated into an SoC that can… Read More
