IP companies have heralded a new age in platform-based design for years – ever since semiconductor integration capacity reached the point where entire systems could theoretically be integrated into a ...

As the VLSI process technology continuously advances, the System-on-Chip (SoC) design methodology has become a main design trend for semiconductor products. A single ...

With design complexity always on the rise and an increasing amount of embedded software encapsulation in designs today, engineering teams need to be concerned with power consumption in the initial ...

Transaction-level modeling (TLM) verification methodologies are propagating down from power users, such as large systems houses and integrated device manufacturers, to the broader design community. As ...

SLD: How long has NXP designed at the system-level for production chips? Frans Theeuwen: It depends on what you call ‘system-level design.’ We have been doing hardware/software co-verification ...
