This white paper examines how a more rigorous link budget analysis of an entire system can be determined through simulation, and how performing link budget analysis enables designers to address losses ...

The semiconductor industry has greatly simplified analysis by consolidating around a small number of models and abstractions, but that capability is breaking down both at the implementation level and ...

As embedded systems hardware is becoming more powerful, the demand for high quality, sophisticated and compelling applications is increasing. In addition to that, due to fierce competition in the ...

Consumer electronics – tablets, smartphones and e-readers – is now leading the industry in growth. For system manufacturers and integrated circuit (IC) suppliers, the challenge involves keeping pace ...

Driven by the need to objectively measure the progress of their verification efforts and the contributions of different verification techniques, IC designers have adopted coverage as a metric. However ...
