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 ...

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the myriad challenges associated with chips used in complex systems over longer periods of time them with Jean-Marie Brunet, senior director for the ...

In today’s ever-shrinking IC package design cycles, it is almost imperative that we catch and correct routing issues as early as possible, which makes simulation an integral part of the design cycle.

By David Shepardson WASHINGTON, Dec 22 (Reuters) - U.S. passenger railroad Amtrak's next-generation high-speed Acela train cars were delayed by more than four years due to planning, design and track ...

Amandine Gini and Victor Moynier explore the dialogue between contemporary societal issues and cultural heritage.

It doesn't matter if you're the logic designer, hardware engineer, or systems engineer, or if you wear all of those hats. If you use an FPGA in any sort of complex system with high speeds and multiple ...

The modern ASIC consists of millions of gates and billions of transistors that often can be operating in several domains having different voltages and clock frequencies. To avoid data loss, designers ...
