Calibre nmLVS Recon flow min

Back in the 1970s we did Layout Versus Schematic (LVS) checks manually, so when internal EDA tools arrived in the 1980s it was a huge time saver to use LVS in finding the differences between layout and schematics. One premise before running LVS is that both layout and schematics are complete and ready for comparisons. Fast forward… Read More

Siemens EDA Offers a Comprehensive Guide to PCIe Transport Security

It is well-known that there is more data being generated all the time. The need to store and process that data with less power and higher throughput dominates design considerations for virtually all systems. There is another dimension to the problem – ensuring the data is secure as all this movement and processing occurs. Within… Read More
