Paving the way to low power IC design
Synopsys has announced approval of new statistical moment-based extensions to LVF by the Liberty Technical Advisory Board (LTAB), an IEEE Industry Standards and Technology Organisation (IEEE-ISTO) federation member programme. The new extensions provide a more precise static timing model based on non-Gaussian variation observed in designs operating at near sub-threshold voltage conditions.Applications include mobile and IoT IC designs, where low e...
Silicon photonics transceiver displayed at OFC 2017
At OFC 2017, the largest global conference and exposition for optical communications, imec presented a 896Gb/s silicon photonics transceiver of a few mm2, targeting future Tb/s optical links. This achievement highlights the scalability of imec’s iSiPP50G silicon photonics platform, paving the way for next-gen short-reach optical interconnects.Driven by exponential growth for interconnect bandwidth in datacenters, single-mode optical transce...
First-pass silicon success for storage SoC with Synopsys
Synopsys has announced that Starblaze has achieved first-pass silicon success for its MB1000 enterprise SSD controller using Synopsys' DesignWare ARC HS38 processor as well as DDR4 and PCI Express controller and PHY IP.
LucidShape software suits automotive lighting simulation
Synopsys announced the commercial availability of its LucidShapeCAA V5 Based software product, which allows designers to perform optical simulations and analyses of automotive lighting products within the CATIA V5 environment.
