NAND flash
NAND flash is a key technology for all systems. 3D techniques now control its cost and potential for future capacity increases.
IP Topics
Hardware trojan attacks and countermeasures
IC designers are becoming increasingly worried about the possibility of third parties inserting malicious 'trojan' circuitry into their ICs.
On-chip clock strategies and GALS
The increased use of IP and a rise in process variability is driving a move to look at alternatives to traditional low-skew clock distribution strategies.
X propagation
X propagation within RTL simulations can hide fatal bugs. Uncovering and eliminating the effect improves design quality and avoids respins.
