Visualizing System Design with Samtec’s Picture Search

If you’ve spent a lot of time in the chip or EDA business, “design” typically means chip design. These days it means heterogeneous multi-chip design. If you’ve spent time developing end products, “design” has a much broader meaning. Chips, subsystems, chassis and product packaging are in focus. This is just a short list if you consider… Read More

IP Surgery min

It’s now difficult to remember when we didn’t reuse our own IP and didn’t have access to extensive catalogs of commercial IP. But reuse comes with a downside – without modification we can’t finetune IP specs to exactly what we want in a current design. We’re contractually limited in how we can adapt commercial IP, however vendors … Read More
