At 0.18 micron and below, handling crosstalk becomes a significant design challenge. Historically safe and pervasive design techniques may now increase crosstalk, and must be reviewed for suitability.

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — Chip designers are divided when it comes to choosing synchronous or asynchronous resets, according to postings in the latest E-Mail Synopsys Users Group (ESNUG) 409 bulletin. An ...

To meet low-power and high-performance requirements, system on chip (SoC) designs are equipped with several asynchronous and soft reset signals. These reset signals help to safeguard software and ...

As the complexity of integrated circuit (IC) designs continues to rise, the task of verifying these designs has become increasingly challenging. The pace of this growth is staggering, with design ...
