Veloce Primo Completes a Full SoC Verification Landscape

Veloce Primo Completes a Full SoC Verification Landscape

This white paper discusses how SoC verification teams can achieve higher capacity than the desktop prototype and reduce the overall cost of ownership of their hardware verification resources even as it helps to accelerate the verification cycle.


Embedded Analytics: A Platform Approach

Embedded Analytics: A Platform Approach

This paper outlines the multi-dimensional nature of this complexity and the costs and opportunities it generates. It also demonstrates that the key to designers meeting this challenge is the ability to attain system-level visibility: both during the semiconductor development cycle, and subsequently after embedded systems are deployed in the field.


IoT Regulatory Compliance

IoT Regulatory Compliance

Discover deep insights into regulatory compliance tests, why it is important, its test challenges, and the solutions to overcome these obstacles.


Reducing IR and EM Issues With Automated Via Insertion

Reducing IR and EM Issues With Automated Via Insertion

This paper shows how manufacturing requirements can be leveraged to perform automated insertion of DRC/LVS-clean vias.


Optimizing Embedded Systems Power Requirements with Hybrid PMIC Design

Optimizing Embedded Systems Power Requirements with Hybrid PMIC Design

Building blocks of modern embedded systems, including processors, SoCs, system DRAM, non-volatile memories, sensors, and connectivity modules, have varied power requirements. On one extreme, a system power management IC (PMIC) integrates all or almost all of the required power rails. On the other hand, individual power rails are implemented using discrete dc/dc and LDOs.


Critical Area Based Test Pattern Optimization

Critical Area Based Test Pattern Optimization

Among the challenges for design-for-test (DFT) engineers is how to set a target metric for automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) and how to choose the best set of patterns. Traditional coverage targets based on the number of faults detected don’t consider the likelihood of one fault occurring compared to another.


How to Ensure Quality Data That Enables Autonomous Driving

How to Ensure Quality Data That Enables Autonomous Driving

Explore how data analyses are being accelerated for autonomous vehicles.


Computer-on-Module for High Performance Computing

Computer-on-Module for High Performance Computing

Learn how the long-established COM Express standard for Computer-on-Modules (COM) has been combined with a new high-performance computing standard.


Flexible USB4-based Interface IP Solution for AI at the Edge

Flexible USB4-based Interface IP Solution for AI at the Edge

This white paper describes a flexible USB4-based IP solution for edge AI accelerators and SoCs. The IP solution can be used with multiple types of hosts by supporting legacy PCIe 4.0, USB4, USB 3.x, and USB 2.0 connections.


Source Control, Git, and Industrial Automation

Source Control, Git, and Industrial Automation

Source control systems have become ubiquitous in the IT world but have not become a major component of operational technology (in particular, PLC programming). There is an increasing, popular movement in the industrial controls world to bring modern source control systems to PLC programming.


Net Common Resistance Extraction is Crucial to Design Reliability

Net Common Resistance Extraction is Crucial to Design Reliability

Accurately extracting and calculating the common resistance of interconnects within analog IC designs is fundamental for evaluating circuit reliability, particularly for noise and voltage drop analysis and ESD protection verification.


Optimizing the Integration of DFM and P&R

Optimizing the Integration of DFM and P&R

Design companies and foundries are constantly modifying their design implementation flow to deliver the best possible solution for their operational needs and the best possible designs for the market.


How to Successfully Calibrate an Open-Loop DAC Signal Chain

How to Successfully Calibrate an Open-Loop DAC Signal Chain

The monitoring and testing of a DAC signal chain are critical considerations for open-loop applications. Errors in a DAC signal chain, including DAC intrinsic errors that vary depending on the system, can significantly disrupt the customer design-in experience.


Power-Up Phase Determinism Using Multichip Synchronization Features in Integrated Wideband DACs and ADCs

Power-Up Phase Determinism Using Multichip Synchronization Features in Integrated Wideband DACs and ADCs

The integration of multiple digital signal processing (DSP) blocks, wideband digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and wideband analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) within a single monolithic chip are enabling the offloading of FPGA resources.


Choosing the Most Suitable Predictive Maintenance Sensor

Choosing the Most Suitable Predictive Maintenance Sensor

Condition-based monitoring (CbM) involves monitoring of machines or assets using sensors to measure the current state of health.
