Design automation is the key to the development of very large ICs. Optimizing the connection and layout of millions of gates to efficiently perform complex functions is not a job to which humans are ...
In the IC design flow, design-for-test is often an afterthought. First, the design is coded, then simulated, then synthesized, and only after all that - usually months into the design cycle - it's ...
Power management in contemporary system-on-chip (SoC) designs is almost unimaginably complex. Processors and other chip cores turn on and off as needed. Advanced features such as dynamic voltage and ...
