In the high-stakes world of automotive electronics, milliseconds matter. Imagine you're cruising down the freeway in a modern electric vehicle. Suddenly, a sensor glitch causes the braking system to misread the distance to the car ahead. In that split second, the vehicle must decide: is this a real fault occurring in the system or a false alarm? Should it apply the brakes or ignore the signal?

In safety-critical systems…

The increasing complexity of chip designs that leverage 3D-IC technology, heterogeneous integration, and other manufacturing advancements emphasizes the need for accurate modeling of electromagnetic (EM) crosstalk. EM solvers continue to play a key role in solving larger problems, both in terms of layout size and number of ports.

Cadence's EMX Planar 3D Solver, an electromagnetic (EM) solver for high-frequency and…

Join me, Sandeep Nasa, Senior Principal Education Application Engineer, in our free technical training webinar and discover how the Cadence Protium X3 simplifies your debugging process. We'll show you how FullVision on Protium X3 lets you dump all design signals at once, eliminating the need for multiple recompilations.

What You’ll Learn:

• Enabling and using FullVision on the Protium X3 system
• Key commands…

In recent posts, we've explored the foundational aspects of Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology and the critical role of Tensilica Vision DSPs in efficiently processing and decoding ToF sensor data. We then delved into how Artificial Intelligence (AI) significantly enhances ToF applications, from improving depth quality with denoising to enabling advanced scene understanding for object, gesture, and facial recognition. Now…

In continuation of our series on IDE blogs, Why IDE Security Technology for PCIe and CXL?, Verification of Integrity and Data Encryption (IDE) for PCIe Devices, and Verification of Integrity and Data Encryption (IDE) for CXL Devices, this blog focuses on CXL3 IDE verification changes from CXL2.0.

The CXL 3.0 and CXL 3.1 specifications build on the security features…

Let's face it—when most of us hear "partition," we think of land disputes, family feuds, or that one cousin who insists on measuring every square inch of their share.

However, in the world of chip design, partition-based synthesis (PBS) is less about drama and more about design harmony.

Ever feel like you're stuck in a loop, optimizing the same logic block over and over—like déjà vu with a side of…

Imagine you've just built your dream home. You’ve double-checked the plumbing, inspected the wiring, and everything feels perfect. But as you’re about to move in, you find leaks in the plumbing and sparks flying from the wiring. It's a nightmare scenario, right? This is exactly what happens to engineers when they face power integrity issues late in the design cycle. These aren't just backend problems—they're design-time…
