Addressing interleaved multichannel memory challenges 8/20/2009
Interleaving addresses in multiple DRAM channels can greatly improve memory bandwidth, but it is not a trivial task.DRAM technology for SOC designers and—maybe—their customers 8/6/2009
An understanding of DRAM technology has become critical to anyone designing consumer-electronics SOCs.First-pass success in silicon packaging 8/6/2009
Package issues interact with all aspects of the design flow, from chip architecture to manufacturing decisions.Techniques for implementing high-performance processor cores 8/6/2009
Every step of the integration process gives the design team opportunities to move closer to its design goals.Dark side of the light 8/6/2009
Tales From The Cube: When a new design is exhibiting strange timing bugs, it can be difficult to decide where to begin your debugging. So, set it up on a testbench, hook it up to an oscilloscope, turn on a desk lamp, and get to work.Making ASIC power estimates before the design 7/23/2009
A structured approach can give you meaningful power estimates when there's still time to influence process and architecture decisions.Small-delay-defect testing 7/9/2009
SDD automatic-test-pattern generation breaks the nanometer-quality barrier.Tackling formal assumptions through verification planning 7/7/2009
There are many tools for tracking assertions during verification, but what about the assumptions the design team has made about the design's environment? They need tracking too.Little-known flash-memory features protect data and IP 6/25/2009
Features from block locking to encrypted-password-access mechanisms can prevent unintentional disruption, malicious damage, or copying.Designing portability into silicon IP 6/11/2009
Design foundry portability into IP cores, rather than applying it after the fact.ADVERTISEMENT
