The world of the hardware design engineer has changed dramatically in recent years. Designers no longer sit and code RTL in isolation to meet a paper specification, and then wait for a hardware ...

“Digital convergence” is creating demand for functionally complex ICs in six-nine month design cycles at mass-market costs. On the one hand, increased capital investments in the late 1990s have seen ...

For many applications, allocating performance among all of the tasks in a system-on-chip (SoC) design is much easier and provides greater design flexibility with multiple CPUs than with just one ...

Getting the most from system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs requires optimal design of the logic surrounding the embedded processor. As SoCs have increased in complexity, optimizing the interfaces between ...
