Editor's Note: In Part 3 of this series, consultant and ASIC designer Tom Moxon covered several RTL and logic synthesis design flows. In this installment of the series, he'll describe new physical ...

Detailed and precise hierarchical design planning is essential to achieving closure on large designs. In this article we describe a new hierarchical design flow and its usage on a 3 million-gate chip.

The use of hierarchical DFT methods is growing as design size and complexity stresses memory requirements and design schedules. Hierarchical DFT divides the design into smaller pieces, creates test ...

Planning for the physical layout and design of the data center building space should include more than just the equipment room. For example, areas for loading equipment, storage and support personnel ...

Advances in integrated circuit technology and fabrication have made it possible to leverage traditional CMOS fabrication processes and materials and apply them to the design of Photonic Integrated ...
