Debug has always been a painful and unavoidable part of semiconductor design and, despite many technological advances, it remains one of the dominant tasks in chip development. At one time, most bugs ...

Complexity continues to explode as designs become larger and more complicated with more functionality and more aggressive expectations. The cost of doing business as usual, for the entire design and ...

Debugging and verifying system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs is taking an ever-larger portion of overall design cycles. A behavior-based debug system known as Verdi aims to minimize debug cycles by ...

Pateras: Structured approach, not trial and error. It is no secret that chip complexities continue to grow at an exponential rate. Large efforts are continuously ...

What is the Conducted EMI measurement? Using FFT-based measuring receivers for CISPR 32. Combining debugging and pre-compliance modes in test equipment. EMC compliance testing of a manufacturer’s ...

And with complexity comes an even greater challenge: debugging complexity. Silent data corruption, elusive timing-sensitive bugs, and intricate interactions across heterogeneous components are ...

I was reading a blog on the challenges of small-to-medium electronic-project design and development, and the author cited a book which he said provided useful guidelines and tactical advice. “Thinking ...
