Abstract:
Functional simulation using an HDL testbench is the de facto method for proving functional correctness of FPGA designs. In this three-part webinar series, we will present a step-by-step approach on how to architect a testbench – progressing from basic to advanced techniques. We will first use a simple DUT then go to … Read More
Summary
The use of advanced verification tools can significantly reduce the number of non-trivial bugs, save engineering time and resources and, more importantly, increase the reliability of FPGA designs. Static design verification is an essential part of a robust verification process that includes advanced linting and … Read More

Electromigration (EM) impacts design reliability, causing failures over time. That is why it’s important to analyze both the power mesh and signal wires to check that the average, rms, or peak currents will not lead to a permanent failure. Learn how the Cadence

Taming the Challenges of Advanced Node Digital Designs
Overview
Although new challenges arise with each node, the move from bulk technologies to advanced node technologies marks a distinctive shift in complexity. Some of the important factors to consider are new devices, challenging and competing design

Designers spend a lot of time looking at their layouts in 2D. This is done naturally because viewing in 2D is faster and simpler than in 3D. It helps that humans are good at extrapolating from 2D to 3D. Analysis software, such as extraction software also spend a lot of time looking at layouts in 2D. While this is fine for approximate results,… Read More
Most people think that designing successful high speed analog circuits requires a mixture of magic, skill and lots of hard work. While this might be true, in reality it also requires a large dose of collaboration among each of the members of the design, tool and fabrication panoply. This point was recently made abundantly clear … Read More
