exploration flow min

Engineers love to optimize their designs, but that implies that there are models and stimulus to automate the process.  Process engineers have TCAD tools, circuit designers have SPICE for circuit simulation, logic designers have gate-level simulators, RTL designers use logic simulation, but what is there for the system architects… Read More


Spot-On Dead Reckoning for Indoor Autonomous Robots

Spot-On Dead Reckoning for Indoor Autonomous Robots
by Kalar Rajendiran on 05-05-2021 at 10:00 am

Sensors Characteristics

One meaning of the word “reckoning” says it is the action or process of calculating or estimating something. But dead reckoning? What does that mean? Believe it or not, we have all deployed dead reckoning to varying degrees of success on different occasions. As an example, when driving on a multi-lane winding highway and direct … Read More


Why Near-Threshold Voltage is an Excellent Choice for Hearables

Why Near-Threshold Voltage is an Excellent Choice for Hearables
by Lauri Koskinen on 05-05-2021 at 6:00 am

blog part 3 energy frugality graphic FINAL 1

In the previous blogs on this topic, we’ve seen that utilizing near-threshold voltage (NTV) saves incredible amounts of energy, theoretically up to 10x and in practice from 2x to 4x. But there is a price which makes some applications more suited for NTV than others. This is due to the inevitable performance (speed) loss of NTV as … Read More

PCIe 6.0 Doubles Speed with New Modulation Technique

PCIe 6.0 Doubles Speed with New Modulation Technique
by Tom Simon on 04-26-2021 at 6:00 am

PCIe 6.0 Eye

PCI-SIG has held to doubling PCIe’s data rate with each revision of the specification. The consortium of 800 companies, with its board consisting of Agilent, AMD, Dell, HP, Intel, Synopsys, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm, is continuing this trend with the PCIe 6.0 specification which calls for a transfer rate of 64 GT/s. PCI-SIG released… Read More

Adaptive Power/Performance Management for FD-SOI

Adaptive Power/Performance Management for FD-SOI
by Tom Dillinger on 04-21-2021 at 10:00 am

Dolphin FD SOI FBB

A vexing chip design issue is how to achieve (or improve) performance and power dissipation targets, allowing for a wide range of manufacturing process variation (P) and dynamic operation voltage and temperature fluctuations (VT).  One design method is to analyze the operation across a set of PVT corners, and ensure sufficient… Read More

Arm Announces v9 Generation – Custom, DSP, Security, More
by Bernard Murphy on 04-21-2021 at 6:00 am

Balance of Standardization min

This wasn’t as much of a big bang announcement as others I have seen. More a polishing of earlier-announced reveals, positioning updates, together with some new concepts. First, you probably remember the Cortex-X announcement from about a year ago, allowing users to customize their own instructions into the standard instruction… Read More
