During the GOMACTech conference held in South Carolina last week I had a Zoom call with Deepak Shankar, Founder and VP Technology at Mirabilis Design Inc. to ask questions and view a live demo of VisualSim – a modeling, simulation, exploration and collaborative platform to develop electronics and SoCs. What makes VisualSim so … Read More
Digital design and verification is well understood by EDA vendors and IC designers, however mixed-signal design and verification is more challenging, because the continuous nature of analog signals requires more compute resources and specialized design skills. Siemens EDA has a unique offering in what they call Symphony… Read More
Video webinars are a main staple to learn what’s new about EDA tools and methodologies, but there’s nothing quite like meeting in person, where you can ask questions and gauge the expertise of the presenters. I was delighted to learn that Keysight is planning a literal world tour to update EDA customers and prospects on what they … Read More
Low earth orbit (LEO) satellites as an intermediary for communication became hot when Elon Musk announced Starlink (yeah, other options were available, but Elon Musk). This capability extends internet availability to remote areas and notably (for a while) to Ukraine in support of the war with Russia. Satellites can in principle… Read More
Many people either thought or assumed… Read More
