Automated formal technologies can be used to ease the debug and functional verification burden of SystemC/C++ code prior to high-level synthesis. This tutorial, first presented at DVCon Europe explores how these formal techniques can be deployed and provides real-world examples.

One roadblock to the integration of IP from multiple vendors into an SoC is the likelihood of finding duplicate cell names in the merged design. Carefully considered renaming strategies can fix the problem without causing design database bloat.

The promise of autonomous vehicles is driving profound changes in the design and testing of automotive ICs.

A look at the complexiites of implementing a Bluetooth Low Eenergy interface in an SoC.

A look at the device types defined by the Compute Express Link (CXL) standard.

A look at the key protocols that control the Compute Express Link (CXL) standard for connecting CPUs and accelerators in hetereogenous computing environments.

A guide to the emerging Compute Express Link (CXL) standard, which links CPUs and accelerators in heterogenous computing environments.

Using a hardware root of trust and a secure development lifecycle process to form the basis of a better approach to developing and implementing more secure complex SoCs.

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.

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.
