If designers can verify individual blocks before subsystem integration, the verification team can focus on complex ...

Engineers must now ensure that silicon itself defends against attacks, protects embedded secrets, and complies with ...

In the rapidly evolving semiconductor industry, keeping pace with Moore’s Law presents opportunities and challenges, particularly in system-on-chip (SoC) designs. Notably, the number of transistors in ...

Designing the hardware-software interface. Dealing with "bytes enables" in RTL verification. Automating the HSI design process across the entire dev team. The hardware-software interface (HSI) holds ...

The complexity of DRC rules increases with shrinking geometries. It is not that the laws of physics change with shrinking IC feature size; they are just more strictly enforced. At one time, there was ...

Unfortunately, the current design-verification process is hampering attempts to address these challenges. Because design verification occurs late in the design process, there's a high risk of design ...
