One of the key factors in the design and development of submicron chip designs is the setting of good physical and timing constraints, no matter what type of design methodology you use. Constraints ...
In IC physical design, there is a tendency to focus on the synthesis and layout tasks, and to not give much consideration to the chip finishing tasks, at least not until the more pressing matters of ...
September 11, 2013. Synopsys Inc. has announced the availability of its DesignWare STAR Hierarchical System, an automated hierarchical test solution for efficiently testing SoCs, including ...
No longer must SoC designers struggle with data that's organized in a file-based fashion. Increasingly, system-on-a-chip (SoC) design is a discipline that requires its practitioners to look, at least ...
The move to system-on-chip (SoC) designs is expected to dramatically increase chip sizes from the already complex 10 million to 20 million transistors to more than 100 million transistors in fewer ...
FPGA devices have grown to ASIC size and complexity, but traditional EDA tools and methodologies have failed to keep pace. Engineers designing high-end FPGAs are beginning to face the types of ...
The rapidly shrinking process geometry is a double-edged sword. It allows unprecedented integration of circuits. But it also produces leakier transistors, which is one of the main reasons behind the ...
Limits and Opportunities” was published by researchers at Stanford University and an independent researcher. Abstract “Memory ...
