Functional Safety Analysis of Electronic Systems
Safety engineers, hardware designers and reliability specialists in safety-critical industries like automotive, aerospace, medical device and industrial automation use FMEDA (Failure Modes, Effects and Diagnostic Analysis). ISO 26262 compliance for ADAS, braking systems and ECUs require FMEDA in the automotive sector.… Read More
RVA23 Ends Speculation’s Monopoly in RISC-V CPUs
RVA23 marks a turning point in how mainstream CPUs are expected to scale performance. By making the RISC-V Vector Extension (RVV) mandatory, it elevates structured, explicit parallelism to the same architectural status as scalar execution. Vectors are no longer optional accelerators bolted onto speculation-heavy cores.… Read More
Perforce and Siemens Collaborate on 3DIC Design at the Chiplet Summit
The recent Chiplet Summit at the Santa Clara Convention Center was buzzing with many enabling technologies for chiplet-based design. Collaboration was also on display during many parts of the show. A presentation in the Siemens booth was a perfect example of both of those trends. In the Siemens booth, Perforce presented an excellent… Read More
Building the Interconnect Foundation: Bump and TSV Planning for Multi-Die Systems
The first article in this series examined how feasibility exploration enables architects to evaluate multi-die system configurations while minimizing early design risk. Once architectural decisions are validated, designers must translate conceptual connectivity requirements into physical interconnect infrastructure.… Read More
CHERI: Hardware-Enforced Capability Architecture for Systematic Memory Safety
The rapid escalation of cyberattacks over the past two decades has exposed a fundamental weakness at the core of modern computing systems: the lack of memory safety. Industry data consistently shows that the majority of critical software vulnerabilities stem from memory corruption issues such as buffer overflows, use-after-free… Read More
WEBINAR: Two-Part Series on RF Power Amplifier Design
At lower frequencies with simpler modulation, RF power amplifier (PA) designers could safely concentrate on a few primary metrics – like gain and bandwidth – and rely on relaxed margins to ensure proper operation in a range of conditions. Today’s advanced RF PA design is a different story. mmWave and sub-THz frequencies introduce… Read More
Securing RISC-V Third-Party IP: Enabling Comprehensive CWE-Based Assurance Across the Design Supply Chain
by Jagadish Nayak
RISC-V adoption continues to accelerate across commercial and government microelectronics programs. Whether open-source or commercially licensed, most RISC-V processor cores are integrated as third-party IP (3PIP), potentially introducing supply chain security challenges that demand structured,… Read More
