what is hot-topic in digital design now?

Status
Not open for further replies.
how about FPGA technology? what is its future?
 

1, CP + ASIC+DSP
2.NoC
2. communication
4. RF
 

what is NoC?

I think security chips are the next trend/hotshot

So why AMCC and Vitesse ceased the development of new NPs?
And IBM sold its NP business... Not sure about Motorola C-Port, are new generations coming?

Really? AMCC ceased .....
I am not the market analyzer, but I think if a new technology would be popular in the world, it must has a long way to go! We shouldn't only focus on their temporary market performance!
C-port has stopped developing for a long time!
At present, Intel 's IXP series is not bad at least, hah:)

I think it is decided by these companies, ALtera, Xilinx, Lattice!
 

Developing Systems using todays technology like USB, Firewire, Ethernet, PCI Express would help earn more and are really hot.

If you are simply developing some sort of IPs its not of much use.

for chip design, SOP may be the one.
for application feild, implementatio of new Video technologies seems to be hot.
However, I think everyone posts correct idea, here.
 

Can anybody give a brief introduction of SOP? Or where can I find related documents about this?

Many thanks in advance!
 

SOC is the most hot topic in digital design. And different region has it own topic; such as communation design, portable design, and consume design, low power is the major issue.
 

SOC+ARM+DSPcore is quite popular
 

As one said SOC verification is booming up . Here more money , time & manpower are spent compared to ASIC design cycle.

More EDA tools are coming up for HVL, like System verilog , Specman , Vera .

In my opinion the Hot areas , Embedded DSP , MPEG 4 , MP3 Decoder , Wireless applications etc
 

In China, I think ,dsp is hot,and some areas fpga is used widely
 

try to design any wireless communication module . it will help u more in job. if ur communication engineer wanna implement any model in VLSI insert of matlab. go to coding(encoder/decoder design), FFT core,AWGN channel testing, etc
u must be well knowledge in fundamentals.
enjoy
 

h.264 mpge-4 wlan-11abg 802.16 UWB WCDMA ...just my view
 

replacing analog and rfic components with mixed digital/DSP circuit techniques and digital circuits (TI and others)
 

i think these things are more important : FPGA ,DSP and embeded system. but i think they make no sense without real applications.

Yep, their recent designs for Bluetooth & EDGE are really astonishing!
Although I would not call it "digital deisgn", maybe "mixed-signal" is better, cause in most cases it is custom digital & mixed-signal design, not HDL-based.
 

design methodology and CAD tools for SoC, low power design
 

Big names, Small market.

Gaining some ground at access level.

Multi-core processors, Low Power........... so many interesting stuffs
