In one traditional model for ASIC development, a customer provides a set of chip performance specifications and the ASIC design house goes off and designs the ASIC on its own. However, when Emerson ...

As AI workloads move from cloud to edge, the volume of image and sensor data across industries is rising rapidly. Edge devices that previously relied on FPGAs and off-the-shelf modules are now running ...

Many embedded system designs are first implemented using FPGAs. This may be for quicker prototyping or to provide a platform for software development. Sometimes, the FPGAs will remain in the design ...

With the emergence of 90-nm process technology, ASIC designers get to explore uncharted levels of performance and density. However, it has also unleashed a slew of challenging design-integrity issues, ...

After several false starts, the age of large-scale ASICs with embedded FPGA cores may finally be dawning, giving rise to an era in which designers of large-scale custom chips have a degree of freedom ...

Verification and design engineers like to talk shop and discuss their experiences and visions. But even though engineers sharing stories around the water cooler (whatever form that takes—conferences, ...

But the reliability of these billion-transistor systems often depends on a much simpler and frequently overlooked block: the Reset Controller. An SoC is only as reliable as its ability to power up ...
