Solutions towards PCIe compliance and interoperability
|
2008-02-01 |
| In the last five years, PCIe technology has become the dominant interconnect protocol across the market. However, non-compliant and non-interoperable devices are prevalent. This article discusses the issues of PCIe compliance and interoperability. This article presents a solution to the challenges faced by the PCIe market. |

We Need a New Approach to Accurately Simulate Large Circuits
|
2007-04-30 |
| The options available for accurately verifying design behaviour, especially post layout, are very limited. SPICE can rarely read large netlists, and FastSPICE is not accurate enough where precision is critical. |

Technical intro to functional qualification
|
2009-04-03 |
| Know how functional qualification can meet the challenge of delivering functionally correct silicon on time and on budget. |
|
The benefits of developing tests with models
|
2009-08-19 |
| This article explains how virtual testing, based on system simulation and model-based design, reduces the risk of uncovering errors late in the process. |
|
| Logic suppliers seek ways to embed FPGAs
|
2001-03-01 |
| Driven by the convergence of communications, computing and consumer applications, SoC design complexity increases the time required to bring competitive products to market, putting a premium on design speed and flexibility. |
