How can designers speed up their design? Higher speed is needed to go from specification via design to production while feature-rich implementations increase design complexity. Frequently speeding up ...

Current specification flows often use standard text processors to capture formal register and memory map information of hardware designs along with other less formal types of specification text.

The process of designing, manufacturing, and testing ICs is complex and exhaustive. The main contributors are the design and verification teams, IP vendors, and IC manufacturers. The process of ...

Previously I discussed the idea of a Global Process Call as a method for getting prioritized data from every PMBus™ device within a system. The industry listened and responded with a request for ...

Arm has released the first public specification of its Arm Chiplet System Architecture (CSA). First introduced by the company last year, more than 60 organizations have now engaged with Arm’s CSA, ...

System Surveyor 2.0 is the next generation of the security industry’s favorite mobile app for site surveys and physical security system design. Upload a floor plan in minutes, scale it, drag-and-drop ...

Chip design is getting more and more challenging in terms of power, performance, area and IP integration. At the same time, competition and time-to-market are forcing much tighter schedules. The ...

The goal of the Open Compute Project’s data-center-ready secure control module (DC-SCM) design specification. The importance of offloading server management, security, and control functions from the ...

The iterations a specification goes through in a given project. Are chip design and verification specs, and hardware and software specs, separate entities? Automation of the specification process.
