Breakfast Bytes: Verilog HDL and Its Ancestors and Descendants

Paul McLellan

Most conferences take place annually, or in some cases every two years. The History of Programming Languages (HOPL) is held more like once every fifteen years. The first three were held in 1978, 1993, and 2007. The fourth was going to be held last ye...

Verification: Verifying Protocol Tunneling with Cadence USB4 VIP — The Multiprotocol Advantage

Neelabh

All the workings of USB4 protocol are primarily about how to transfer the native protocol data through tunneling from their originating points to respective destinations. One may verify thoroughly the core layers, like logical layer and transport layer, of a USB4 design. But that is only half the job done.

The next challenge comes up at verifying the tunneling of each native protocol, which are USB3, PCIe, and DisplayPort…

定制IC芯片设计 : Virtuoso Meets Maxwell：跨结构电磁提取功能- 简化IC、封装和电路板耦合的任务

jgrad

当您在设计RFICs或RF模块时，如果只分析IC或模块上的电磁行为，那么可能会造成结果缺失。即使IC的电磁行为已达到其规格要求，也很容易将其耦合至模块周边的走线上，从而影响我们的判断。因此，只有IC和模块组合而成的电磁模型才能确保我们的系统按预期运行。通常对于我们说，组装IC 和封装几何形状是非常繁琐且容易出错的。我们必须手动从各个不同的平台调取数据，并且将其组装成3D模型。甚至有时每次设计迭代时，我们还需要手动重复这些步骤。.
