FPGA devices have grown to ASIC size and complexity, but traditional EDA tools and methodologies have failed to keep pace. Engineers designing high-end FPGAs are beginning to face the types of ...

The intent of this design article is to provide a comprehensive tutorial on both the value of and the “how to†in using a hierarchical low-power design methodology. The article first shows how to ...

The rapidly shrinking process geometry is a double-edged sword. It allows unprecedented integration of circuits. But it also produces leakier transistors, which is one of the main reasons behind the ...

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 ...
