    Which simulation tools can support SystemVerilog

    VCS 7.2 still doesn't support System Verilog Testbench (the full 3.1a spec). Will that feature be on its way shortly, or is Synopsys going to emphasize the VCS-exclusive NTB for the future?

    Sometimes, the SoC integration hurdle is I/O

    When designers discuss the problems of integration in a system-on-chip, generally the talk is about complex functional logic blocks, processor cores, hundreds of memory instances and the like. If I/O gets discussed at all, it's usually as an afterthought. That bias can have its disadvantages...

    Coexistence in a multilingual design world

    We have heard the commotion over SystemC and an evolved Verilog. The IEEE 1364 Verilog committee has a plan to specify next-generation Verilog: 1364-2005. Verilog 2005 will be based on input from vendors (e.g., Cadence Design Systems, which made several donations to IEEE 1364 this month), users...

    Memory bandwidth considerations in DDR interface design

    System designers typically measure memory performance requirements in a combination of two situations: a statistical analysis of bandwidth averaged over a large sample of expected cycles, and a deterministic analysis of a smaller set of specific cycles for "must complete" tasks. Some...

    Low-power design techniques span RTL-to-GDSII flow

    With today's increasingly large and complex digital IC and system-on-chip (SoC) designs, design power closure and circuit power integrity are starting to become one of the main engineering challenges, thereby impacting the device's total time-to-market. The shear amount of power consumed by...

    Finally, some good news for EDA

    Much of the news about EDA has been gloomy of late. You've read about lawsuits, revenue shortfalls, missing capabilities and user complaints about tools. Perhaps it's time, as we head into the 40th Design Automation Conference (DAC) this week, to look at what's right about the electronic design...
