Verification has long been the most time-consuming and often resource-intensive part of chip development. Building out the infrastructure to tackle verification can be a costly endeavor, however. Emerging and even well-established semiconductor companies must weigh the Cost-of-Results (COR) against Time-to-Results

Techniques and Tools for Accelerating Low Power Design Simulations
I recently watched a webinar titled “How to accelerate power-aware simulation debug with Synopsys’ VC LP” that was presented by Ashwani Kumar Dwivedi senior applications engineer at Synopsys. Watching the webinar made me reminisce how design verification has evolved over the years. A long time ago, static verification started… Read More
What Dolpin Technology Uses for SPICE Circuit Simulation of IP
Mo Tamjidi founded two Semiconductor IP companies Virage Logic and Dolphin Technology. After reading a press release about how Dolphin Technology is using FineSIM SPICE from Magma I decided to contact him and learn more about why they are now using that circuit simulator in the design of their memory, standard cells, and IO cells.… Read More
