Designers of robot control systems are being pushed to provide better performance and more features, all while meeting tight deadlines and keeping costs down. As these demands grow, traditional design ...

Groundbreaking benefits of using artificial intelligence in design verification. How SHAPley values can help engineers optimize debugging in design verification. Achieving low-latency SoC ...

Once upon a time, integrated circuits (ICs) were built by the same companies that designed them. The design of an IC was tightly integrated with the manufacturing processes available within each ...

The challenge of mixed-signal design is different in character from the challenge of digital design. In digital design, the overwhelming challenge stems from the large size of the circuits. At the ...

Achieving efficiency in integrated circuit (IC) design while maintaining design quality is not just a goal, but a necessity. Designers constantly strive to strike a balance between ever-tightening ...

More processors on SoCs means more sophisticated cache control. This article describes formal techniques for verifying cache coherency for the ARM AMBA AXI Coherency Extensions (ACE) protocol. Fig 1.
