When it comes to building edge devices for the internet-of-things (IoT), you don’t want to have to break the bank to prototype an idea before diving into the deep water. At the same time, if your idea is to shrink an edge device down to it’s smallest dimensions, lowest power and lowest cost, you really want to be able to prototype your… Read More

IC Design for Implantable Devices Treating Epilepsy
I’m utterly amazed at how IC-based products are improving our quality of life by implantable devices. The modern day pacemaker has given people added years of life by electrically stimulating the heart. A privately-held company called NeuroPace was founded in Mountain View, California to treat epilepsy by using responsive… Read More
A Non Deterministic Timing Problem
When I was not messing around with FPGA Research and Development, or Algorithms, I was often called into the lab or field and presented this type of scenario… Most of the time, the fix was the same…
At least a few times a year, I’d get the call. Sometimes a panic in the voice, or sometimes defeat. And who wouldn’t be defeated? After… Read More
A Verilog Simulator Comparison
Intro
Mentor, Cadence and Synopsys all offer Verilog simulators, however when was the last time that you benchmarked your simulator against a tool from a smaller company?
I just heard from an RTL designer (who wants to remain anonymous) about his experience comparing a Verilog simulator called CVC from Tachyon against ModelSim… Read More
