I’ve blogged about Methodics before they were acquired by Perforce back in 2020, so I wanted to get an update on Perforce IPLM (Integrated Product Lifecycle Management) by attending their recent webinar. Hassan Ali Shah, Senior Product Manager and Rien Gahlsdor, Perforce IPLM Product Owner were the two webinar presenters. Their… Read More
DesignCon is a unique conference — its tagline is “Where the Chip meets the Board”. Held each January in Santa Clara, the conference showcases a wealth of new technologies for advanced packaging, printed circuit board fabrication, connectors, cables, and related analysis equipment (e.g, BERT, VNA, scopes). Of specific… Read More
With the unprecedented increase in semiconductor design size and complexity design teams are required to accommodate multiple design constraints such as multiple power domains for low power design, multiple modes of operation, many clocks running, and third party IPs with different SDCs. As a result timing closure has become… Read More
The SoC designs of today are much more complex than ever in terms of number of clocks, IPs, levels of hierarchies, several modes of operations, different types of validations and checks for growing number of constraints at various stages in the design flow. As a semiconductor design evolves through several stages from RTL to layout,… Read More
