A significant paradigm shift in design methodology is taking place with RTL design handoff. Shrinking process nodes, increasing SoC design complexities, and tightened purse strings have made the ...
The RTL Architect product represents the industry's first physically aware RTL analysis, optimization, and signoff system built on a fast, multi-dimensional prediction engine for superior RTL handoff ...
The Tessent RTL Pro enables analysis and insertion of a large majority of their DFT logic very early in the design flow, performing quick synthesis and then running ATPG (automatic test pattern ...
Editor's Note: In Part 2 of this series,consultant and ASIC designer Tom Moxoncovered several trends in virtual silicon prototying design flows.In this installment of the series he'll show how to link ...
Front-end designers can access digital design analysis and debugging capabilities from a single, unified cockpit, enabling fully optimized RTL design prior to implementation handoff. With this tool, ...
Commercial power analysis tools have been available now for over 10 years, operating at the gate and transistor level of abstraction. For analog, mixed-signal, and custom designs, transistor-level ...
Energy efficiency of devices has become more critical than ever, with shrinking geometries and increased performance requirements of SoCs in applications ranging from mobile, storage, automotive to ...
Rising design complexity causes innumerable headaches in achieving functional design closure. Startup firm Blue Pearl Software plans to address design closure at RTL using a combination of design-rule ...
The standard approach for testing IC logic is the use of scan chains, with embedded compression as the standard approach for applying scan patterns. Embedded compression enables the same test quality ...
