Validation ensures that a part will operate correctly in end-user applications. Design validation is the task of testing a part or a system adequately to ensure that all parts or systems manufactured ...

Clocking issues are one of the most common reasons for costly design re-spins. This has been the driving factor in the ever-increasing demand for Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) analysis tools. Today, the ...

Design verification has been the biggest challenge for any IC design company for decades now. EDA tools and verification methods have evolved a lot over the last two decades, but along with that, the ...

The product development process can be improved with single-physics simulation, multiphysics simulation and simulation apps. This article looks at three real-world examples that show how integrating ...

Simulation is playing an increasingly critical and central role throughout the design-through-manufacturing flow, fusing together everything from design to manufacturing and test in order to reduce ...

Driven by the need to objectively measure the progress of their verification efforts and the contributions of different verification techniques, IC designers have adopted coverage as a metric. However ...

R is an open-source programming language and environment with powerful and extensive features for data analysis, data visualization, and statistical computing. Although R first appeared in the 1990s, ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The SoC design world is full of challenges and unforeseeable hurdles, especially for protocol developers and early ...
