This article looks into what software design is and its significant methods in software engineering. It will help beginners with the basic understanding. Quite often, software development projects run ...

When we talk about the signoff of digital IP, we are referring to the full verification of a block. Every feature listed in a device’s datasheet requires verification. Furthermore, every register ...

Seldom does a design team receive carte blanche—at whatever the cost—to meet performance or power specifications. But given the partitioning and segmentation of many IC design flows, it’s not uncommon ...

Power supply noise and related issues have become critical for designs at 90nm and below due to the combination of several factors. Timing slowdown and functional failures are becoming common in these ...

Many of today's large, complex designs can contain thousands of lines of Verilog or VHDL code. Quite often, teams of engineers—with some members possibly situated in disparate locations worldwide—will ...

Today's mechanical design engineers are tasked with much more than conceiving and designing a functional product with structural integrity. Well-designed products are a culmination of many integrated ...
