Digital/analog implementation

Mentor adds Analog FastSPICE eXTreme innovations for designs facing increasing parasitic complexity and contact resistance challenges at cutting edge nodes.

Live and on-demand videos as well as You Tube 'tips and techniques' clips form part of a wide 'work at home' support package from Mentor.

Updates to existing designs are often error-prone, though safety tolerances are necessarily tightening. This four-step strategy can help.

Traditional approaches to via insertion to meet reliability and yield at advanced nodes are giving way to necessary automation.

Emulation is already playing a vital role in advanced automotive design within a digital twin environment.

Mentor has a host of tools - some public, some not - that leverage AI and ML. EVP Joe Sawicki has been describing the strategy behind their development.

The new Calibre Reconnaissance feature within Mentor's physical verification suite aims to maximize compute resources and deliver manageable reports.

Reset domain crossing is another area where rising SoC complexity and IP reuse is causing an increase in reliability and safety challenges.

ES Design West aims to help integrate the supply chain but also has plenty of engineering content aimed at low power, security, embedded and more.

A new paper describes a case study for a pressure-sensing IoT application based on the ARM DesignStart platform and Mentor IoT tool flow.
