In IC physical design, there is a tendency to focus on the synthesis and layout tasks, and to not give much consideration to the chip finishing tasks, at least not until the more pressing matters of ...
The use of hierarchical DFT methods is growing as design size and complexity stresses memory requirements and design schedules. Hierarchical DFT divides the design into smaller pieces, creates test ...
Editor’s Note: Demand for increasing functionality and performance in systems designs continues to drive the need for more memory even as hardware engineers balance the dynamics of system capability, ...
September 11, 2013. Synopsys Inc. has announced the availability of its DesignWare STAR Hierarchical System, an automated hierarchical test solution for efficiently testing SoCs, including ...
The rapidly shrinking process geometry is a double-edged sword. It allows unprecedented integration of circuits. But it also produces leakier transistors, which is one of the main reasons behind the ...
Hierarchical design methodologies that introduce concurrency into the design flow are the answer to burgeoning circuit complexity. Synopsys's Steve Kister discusses various challenges to design ...
Jerry Cao is a UX content strategist at UXPin — the wireframing and prototyping app. To learn more about how to create visually digestible interfaces, download the free e-book Web UI Design for the ...
is the thermal resistance between the object and the environment. The problem is to determine whether the integrated circuit in question is reliable at high temperatures. Without a particular method ...
