Chipmaker
Module strategies try to streamline IoT trials
Suppliers to the embedded industry see modules and readymade software as being key to getting IoT projects off the ground.
Dialog plans configurable mixed-signal expansion
Dialog Semiconductor aims to expand its use of configurable mixed-signal circuitry across its product line following its acquisition of specialist Silego a year ago.
IBM and Synopsys to apply DTCO to post-finFET process development
Collaboration on DTCO offers IBM a better way to evaluate combinations of transistor architectures, materials and other process technology innovations using design metrics, before real wafers become available for physical experimentation.
Mentor as an evolving Siemens business: 3. Tanner EDA
Tanner's focus on AMS, MEMS and, now, the IoT-edge are making it even more ripe for integration with other Mentor tools.
Verification engineers embrace emulation for the shift left
In a panel session at June's DAC, Synopsys customers talked about some of the ways they make verification more efficient and bring technologies such as formal, emulation, and simulation together.
Embedded FPGAs start to take hold in SoC
The embedded FPGA is beginning to find a market, with communications leading the way but machine learning likely to drive further adoption.
With RF, power and MRAM, FD-SOI finds its role
FD-SOI is gradually building up a presence as a technology not just for low-power but RF and power integration.
Fusion improves timing say Synopsys users
Early-access customers talked about their experiences with the Synopsys Fusion-based flow in a panel session at the DAC.
EDA needs to work on the back end, says Qualcomm
It’s the back-end that needs work as system-level considerations begin to dominate design, Qualcomm’s vice president of engineering said at DAC.
