EDA

Compliance with aviation’s hardware design standard is seen as a ‘tough ask’, but EDA’s own evolution has made that process easier than you may think.

High-performance audio processors will introduce consumers to an upgraded theater-quality audio experience.

Designers working on automotive ICs, to be built on established processes, can benefit from the power of design tools developed for advanced processes.

How ST Microelectronics uses Synopsys' VCS AMS, combining VCS functional verification and CustomSim, to verify one of its mixed-signal designs

Precise curved geometries are vital to making this emerging and cost-effective CMOS-based technology work. This primer explains its advantages and how litho tools are evolving to meet the challenges it presents.

Combining assertion-based verification techniques with emulation makes for easier debug, better coverage and greater functional efficiency.

Constraints are a vital part of IC design, yet the management and verification of constraints’ quality, completeness, consistency and fidelity to the designer’s intent is an evolving art.

A look at the challenges of designing chips for the Internet of Things, or IoT, and some of the responses to those challenges

CDC violations are now so complex that it takes a combined block and full SoC level verification strategy to catch and fix all the bugs

Formal techniques can be applied to various parts of the verification challenge, including low-power and clock domain-crossing issues
