HBM is a JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) standard-defined DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) with a 3D-stacked memory architecture that reduces power consumption and has a small form factor. Because of these unique characteristics, HBM is the leading choice for high-performance computing (HPC), graphics, networking, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML). The differentiator with HBM…

The ever-increasing innovations in artificial intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing the future, be it in self-driving cars, manufacturing, finance, education, and healthcare. AI, in simple terms means that a computer can perform the tasks which would typically need human intelligence. It is achieved by algorithms and models that enable computers to analyze and learn from huge amounts of data, reach the findings, and solve…

Generative design is an innovative approach that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and computational algorithms to generate a multitude of potential design solutions, transcending the creative capacity of human designers. This technology is making waves in various industries, including architecture, engineering, and industrial design, by automating the design process and optimizing the final product based on specific…

Low-power DDR SDRAM has been one of the most widely used memories in the semiconductor market. This blog post talks about the evolutions of LPDDR DRAMs leading to the latest published standard of LPDDR5/5X. We also look at some of the traditional markets for LPDDR devices and how LPDDR5X is opening new specialized markets for the LPDDR DRAMs.

The first LPDDR standard, also referred to as LPDDR1…

In recent years, the requirements and performance goals for designers have become more complex and even more demanding. Therefore, the time spent searching for a solution should be minimized as much as possible. The Cadence Learning and Support Portal provides 24/7 technical support to quickly answer your design-related questions and thus solve problems.

We are constantly working to improve the user-friendliness and efficiency…

In this Knowledge Booster blog, we talk about the need to verify analog/mixed-signal blocks using a UVM-MS-based testbench and explore how to verify analog/mixed-signal blocks using the features of MS-MDV and UVM-MS. We also introduce you to the videos and training materials that can help you to ramp up the UVM-MS Methodology.

The UVM-MS approach to checking analog functionality is possibly its biggest departure from…
