The SoC (System on Chip) uses AMBA (Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture) as an on-chip bus. APB (Advanced Peripheral Bus) is one of the components of the AMBA bus architecture. APB is low ...

Transaction level modeling (TLM) is gaining favor over register-transfer level (RTL) for design components because of its many advantages—including faster design and verification times, easier ...

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- July 23, 2009 -- Denali Software, Inc., a world-leading provider of electronic design automation (EDA) software and intellectual property (IP), today announced the availability of ...

More processors on SoCs means more sophisticated cache control. This article describes formal techniques for verifying cache coherency for the ARM AMBA AXI Coherency Extensions (ACE) protocol. Fig 1.

Designing a complex chip today and getting it out the door on schedule and within budget — while including all of the necessary and anticipated features and standards — is forcing engineering teams to ...

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and CAMBRIDGE, England -- Sept. 21, 2005-- Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS), a world leader in semiconductor design software, and ARM (LSE: ARM ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Design complexity has grown with each successive generation of system-on-chip (SoC) evolution. SoCs now include many industry-standard ...

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 ...

At the end of each year, I look back over the stories published and those that top the charts in terms of readership. I concentrate on those stories that are about the EDA tools and flows and the ...
