Design the right chip. Design the chip right.

Every verification methodology in mainstream use answers the second half of that sentence and assumes the first. Simulation, emulation, formal, constrained-random testbenches, coverage closure — all of them take a specification as given and ask whether the implementation matches… Read More

Americas Session | Visual Design Diff (VDD): Understanding Design Changes Across Schematics and Layouts

Americas Session | Visual Design Diff (VDD): Understanding Design Changes Across Schematics and Layouts
by Admin on 09-03-2026 at 1:53 am

Analog and custom design teams create many versions of schematics and layouts throughout the project life cycle as they optimize, verify, and refine their designs. Understanding exactly what changed between versions is critical, but it often depends on incomplete check-in comments, manual inspection, emails, or conversations… Read More
