The world of the hardware design engineer has changed dramatically in recent years. Designers no longer sit and code RTL in isolation to meet a paper specification, and then wait for a hardware ...

In SoC design, a streamlined verification and analysis flow can contribute significantly to the success of a product. With manufacturing yield and time-to-market schedules crucial, it is important to ...

Getting the most from system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs requires optimal design of the logic surrounding the embedded processor. As SoCs have increased in complexity, optimizing the interfaces between ...

“Digital convergence” is creating demand for functionally complex ICs in six-nine month design cycles at mass-market costs. On the one hand, increased capital investments in the late 1990s have seen ...
