Bug Hunting in NoCs. Innovation in Verification
by Bernard Murphy on 08-28-2024 at 6:00 am

Innovation New

Despite NoCs being finely tuned in legacy subsystems, when subsystems are connected in larger designs or even across multi-die structures, differing traffic policies and system-level delays between NoCs can introduce new opportunities for deadlocks, livelocks and other hazards. Paul Cunningham (GM, Verification at Cadence),… Read More

Analog Bits Momentum and a Look to the Future

Analog Bits is aggressively moving to advanced nodes. On SemiWiki, Dan Nenni covered new IP in 3nm at DAC here. I covered the new Analog Bits 3nm IP presented at the TSMC Technology Symposium here. And now, there’s buzz about 2nm IP to be announced at the upcoming TSMC OIP event in September.  I was able to get a briefing from the master… Read More


Spatial audio concepts targeted for earbuds and soundbars

Spatial audio concepts targeted for earbuds and soundbars
by Don Dingee on 08-26-2024 at 10:00 am

Spatial audio concepts differ from traditional surround sound

Spatial audio technologies deliver more realistic sound by manipulating how the listener perceives sounds virtually sourced from different directions and distances in a 3D space. Where traditional surround sound technology uses various sound channels through many speakers positioned around a listener, spatial audio can… Read More
