Webinar – Why Keeping Track of IP in the Enterprise Really Matters

Everyone knows IP is an important asset for the enterprise. You spend a lot of money on IP licenses. You try to keep track of who bought what as buying the same thing twice is painful. You wonder if you have the latest version of an IP, especially if it’s part of mission-critical functionality. If you’re a good corporate citizen, you … Read More

What if you could Table

One of the few things that remain constant in the engineering world is the desire for higher productivity. Innovation happens when engineers are designing something and creative ideas crop up when they are reviewing and analyzing the results. In between these fun steps, engineers have to deal with the necessary evil of creating… Read More

FIG 1 spec bug

As processor architecture and design development becomes completely liberated with open-source RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA), the race to get RISC-V silicon in our hands has increased massively. We have no doubt that in next 5 years, we will see RISC-V based laptops and desktops in the market. But would these processors… Read More

Innovation New

Roots of trust can’t prevent attacks through side-channels which monitor total power consumption or execution timing. Correcting weakness to such attacks requires pre-silicon vulnerability analysis.

gajski kuhn

Back in 2020 I first learned from Synopsys about how they had engineered a better way to do optimize layouts on digital designs by using machine learning techniques, instead of relying upon manual approaches. The product was named DSO.ai, standing for Design Space Optimization, and it produced a more optimal floor-plan in less… Read More

Symmetry Requirements Becoming More Important and Challenging

Symmetry Requirements Becoming More Important and Challenging
by Tom Simon on 08-24-2021 at 10:00 am

Symmetry across the design flow

Humans certainly have always had an aesthetic preference for symmetry. We also see symmetry showing up frequently in nature. The importance of symmetry in electronic designs has been apparent for decades. There are a host of analog structures that require balanced layout. For instance, these include differential pairs and … Read More
