Today all chip designs begin as lines of code. The code is written at a high level, hiding much of the complexity from the designer, and then synthesized into a low-level description for layout and ...

A panel of industry experts takes a sneak peek at system-level design challenges in EVs and outlines viable solutions.

Used to perform FMEA, Software FMEA/HAZOP, DFA, and cybersecurity threat analysis, the software has embedded knowledge about likely system level problems that helps detect design issues early, for ...

About 15 years ago, the assumption in the EDA industry was that system design would be inevitable. The transition from gate-level design to a new entry point at the register transfer level (RTL) ...

Motion systems expert Michael Everman discusses why design engineers are opting to bundle multi-axis precision into drop-in platforms.

If there is one thing in software engineering that is a given, it’s that engineers need continuous education. While graduating college might have made us think that we were “done,” the truth is that ...

Every good hardware or software design starts with a structured approach throughout the design cycle, but as chip architectures and applications begin focusing on specific domains and include some ...

Growing concerns regarding security drive today’s software system design. For connected systems, it’s no longer enough to choose both a software process standard and a programming standard that focus ...

Vendor lock-in is often described as an unfortunate side effect of modern software. In reality, it is frequently a design ...
