Vipul Patel, einfochips ltd. Abstract. The main objective of this paper is to explain the various types of design rule checks (DRC) violation, their causes and how to fix the various design rule checks (DRC) at lower technology node on block level as well as full chip level implementation while meeting the design rule with respect to latest technology standards.

Jacob Beningo EDN (June 02, 2015). Designing a HAL is a great first step to developing firmware that is reusable and hardware independent. No, a HAL is not the infamous artificial intelligence from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

his article provides an overview of the chip design flow, its different stages, and their contributions toward creating an effective chip. These stages include system specifications, architectural design, functional design, logic design, circuit design, physical design …

Dec 6, 2024 · Wireless audio (wireless earbuds, headphones and speakers) introduced us to a completely new level of listening convenience and freedom, prompting the rapid growth we are already seeing in this consumer segment (30% CAGR for wireless earbuds and 14% for …

Clock path has always been one of the most critical as well as complex components of timing analysis in synchronous design. With increasing complexities in both functionality as well as test architecture, designers now struggle with a large the number of clocks as …

EXTOLL, a leading provider of high-speed and ultra-low-power SerDes and Chiplet connectivity, has been selected by BeammWave, an innovation leader in mmWave 5G/6G digital beamforming, as a key SerDes IP supplier for its next gen communication ASIC development portfolio on GlobalFoundries’ (GF ...

Static timing analysis is a technique of computing of cell delay and interconnect delay in design (known as path delay) and comparing it against constrain (timing specific) set in SDC file. This paper describes the static timing analysis for a specific design mainly about mem2reg reg2mem and reg2reg setup analysis a kind of detecting and solving the setup violation in design.

In 1958, the first integrated circuit flip-flop was built using two transistors at Texas Instruments. The chips of today contain more than 1 billion transistors. The memory that could once support an entire company’s accounting system is now what a teenager carries in his smartphone. This scale of growth has resulted from a continuous scaling of transistors and other improvements in the ...

Since its inception, BCD technology has leveraged the integration of two primary technologies—polysilicon gate CMOS and DMOS power architecture—on the same chip. Its compatibility with bipolar components has enabled the creation of SoCs (System-on-Chip) that combine digital and analog control with efficient power management sections.
