45th DAC Takes The SoC Methodology
Plunge
By David Maliniak, EDA Editor
|
At the inaugural Design Automation Conference in 1964, then known as
the SHARE Design Automation Workshop, the fledgling design-automation
industry batted around some of the fundamentals of its mission to
engineers. Papers carried titles such as “A method for best geometric
placement of units on a plane,” and “New horizons in graphic output
on the IBM 1403 printer.” Some of that year’s program hinted at yet
unformed methodologies. Now, as the EDA industry heads for the 45th
Design Automation Conference (DAC, Anaheim, Calif., June 8-12), the
focus is squarely on methodology.

Aftermarket battery packs are available for most portable devices.
Hosted by Robin Sarah Tichy, Technical Marketing Manager with Micro
Power and contributor to Electronic Design's Power Design column, this
webcast will present the results of several product tear-downs on
aftermarket battery packs and explain how substandard aftermarket packs
can cut corners on cost, safety mechanisms, and battery performance.
Webinar: Supercharging Products with Embedded RFID
Sponsored by SkyeTek | June 26 @ 2 pm ET
They may still look the same on the outside, but embedded RFID readers
and software can transform products from the inside, offering
manufacturers, OEMs, and product designers new opportunities for
competitive advantage through increased efficiency, accuracy and product
differentiation. With an seemingly unending list of products, RFID is a
key technique to adding new functionality, increasing reliability and
enhancing the user experience. At this webinar and interactive Q&A
session learn the difference between RFID and existing barcode and
contact technologies; and how embedded RFID has new applications in
disposable authentication, smart shelves and cabinets, contactless
payments, tracking, inventory and stock, and customizable
configurations. Also catch up on unique technical and business
considerations for embedded RFID and companies that are already
implanting the technology.

The Cyclone Waste Heat Engine (WHE) is a self-starting engine that
operates in a low-pressure, low-temperature range. The engine runs on
waste-heat emanating from an external source such as exhaust from an
internal/external combustion engine or the direct burning of biomass.
The WHE is also designed to run efficiently on solar heat without the
installation of costly photovoltaic panels. This technology, according
to Cyclone, can be implemented in the automobile, solar panel, and the
power-generator industries. Also, excess electricity could be directed
back to the power grid for electrical power credits.

Floorplanner And Prototyping Platform Takes
Lead From Specification
|
Called the first tool of its kind on the market, Javelin Design
Automation has launched its j360 tool suite, a specification-driven
virtual-silicon prototyping platform and floorplanner. Javelin’s j360
is said to realistically predict and optimize designs for implementation
feasibility and quality-of-results (QoR) in parallel to their design
development at the electronic system-level (ESL), register
transfer-level (RTL) and netlist stages of design.

ASIC Prototyping System Speeds Time To
Results
|
The HAPS-51T, a new addition to the HAPS (high-performance ASIC
prototyping system) product family, leverages Xilinx's Virtex-5 LX330T
devices to embody a suitable prototyping system for applications using
high-speed serial interfaces like PCI Express, SATA, and Gigabit
Ethernet.

Tool Closes Verification Loop Between ESL And
Implementation
|
In addition to providing methodological guidelines, Iman’s book
helps users learn the SystemVerilog language, and covers use of
SystemVerilog and the OVM library for building a verification
environment for a realistic design example. It packs more than 500 pages
of original technical content, none of which duplicates the
documentation already available on OVM World.

Dubai plans to invest $2 billion to
build a "technology city" catering to semiconductor companies and their
engineers. Will it succeed?
|
- No. It won't catch up with other established regions.
- The city will become a tough competitor with other regions.
- Invest now, since it will be a world leader someday.
