This paper describes the process and tools used in the verification of a family of Secure Digital (SD) IP cores. The verification process described included SystemC verification, RTL simulation and ...

Register transfer level (RTL) verification remains the bottleneck in digital hardware design. Industry surveys show that functional verification accounts for 70 percent of the total design effort. Yet ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced Xcelium Apps, a portfolio of domain-specific technologies implemented natively on the Cadence ® Xcelium ™ ...

Libraries play a crucial role in the entire design verification and implementation flow (DVIF). Specifically for PA design verification and implementation, special design attributes are mandatory in ...

This paper describes the use of behavioral models and mixed-signal simulation as a means to verify the proper instantiation, connectivity and control of analog and mixed-signal (AMS) intellectual ...

When The MathWorks introduced Matlab technical-computing software more than 20 years ago, many of the first users were control-system designers. Anyone who had laboriously inverted matrices by hand to ...

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has developed a model-based development (MBD) simulation technology that shortens verification times for automotive semiconductors by about ...

Many electronic design automation (EDA) solutions have evolved, which is not a bad thing. Evolution attempts to preserve the tools that are already in place—investments made by designers in languages, ...

Simulations are typically conducted before the prototype design phase in order to reduce development efforts not only in the automotive and industrial equipment markets. Even when designing electronic ...

My, have times changed. I remember when I first started out as a green analog designer right out of college, we would cut rubylith masking film on a large light table representing the different layers ...
