A look at the complexiites of implementing a Bluetooth Low Eenergy interface in an SoC.
Standards
AI firsts (and more) at America’s SEMICON
SEMICON West showed a distinct thematic shift away from preserving Moore's Law to assessing the architectural implications of AI, as EDA was brought into the event.
Portable stimulus and UVM
Accellera's Portable Test and Stimulus standard provides powerful features for verification that is not meant to replace UVM but augment existing verification flows. Here is how portable stimulus and UVM interact.
Using portable stimulus for automotive random error analysis
The Portable Stimulus Standard helps overcome many of the verification challenges inherent in the strict requirements of ISO 26262.
The vocal persuader
In conversation with author and SEMICON West/ES Design West keynoter Bob Pearson on the challenges facing tech on external and internal communication.
Focus your use of Portable Stimulus on three key axes
Portable Stimulus allows reuse along horizontal, vertical and technique axes, but you need to be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of each to get the greatest benefits.
Understanding DDR SDRAM memory choices
This article explains which form of DRAM memory is best for your SoC application, comparing DDR variants, types of DIMM, mobile and low-power versions, graphics memory and 3D stacks.
Enabling the move to a system-centric view
Bob Smith of the ESD Alliance describes how we can promote the ongoing evolution of the design ecosystem.
Create more flexible virtual sequences with Portable Stimulus
Virtual sequences are considered challenging to write and re-use. Learn how to overcome those issues with the new Portable Stimulus Standard in this DMA-based case study.
Managing the evolving architecture of integrated ADAS controllers
Designers need to understand how the architecture of electronic control units used to implement ADAS in vehicles is changing.
