Assembly & Integration

Many IoT applications have a very strict energy budget. SoC designers targeting the IoT have to trade off providing the features that the market demands with the power budget the applications demand. What are their options?

Using triple modular redundancy, error detection and correction, and 'safe' FSMs to ensure greater functional safety in FPGA-based designs

Established physical layer verification IP packages focus so much on protocols they miss problems that arise from the broader context. A PHY verification kit bridges the gap.
