Hierarchical test methodologies are being broadly adopted for large designs. They provide roughly an order of magnitude better ATPG (automatic test program generation) run time, reduce workstation ...

Intriguing designs for any room.

Nothing accelerates a testability engineer's receding hairline as the addition of further clock domains to the latest SoC or IC design. Avoiding clock skew during test is becoming one of the biggest ...

Laying the proper clock network architecture foundation makes all the difference for the best performance, power, and timing of a chip, particularly in advanced node SoCs packed with billions of ...

Clock gating is one of the most frequently used techniques in RTL to reduce dynamic power consumption without affecting the functionality of the design. One method involves inserting gating conditions ...

In a nod to history, the digital clock’s seconds indicator incorporates the British railway system’s renowned double arrow logo. By Susanne Fowler Reporting from London See more of our coverage in ...
