Improve failure analysis success rate with layout-aware diagnosis
Logic-based scan test diagnosis is an established software-based methodology for finding the defect location in a failing die. Using structural test patterns (such as ATPG) and the design description, … [Read more...] about Improve failure analysis success rate with layout-aware diagnosis
Why PCB Design Constraints Should Drive Your Design Flow
This white paper will show you how a constraint-based PCB design can optimize the PCB design process, and improve time-to-market. See how with a correct-by-design methodology you can avoid integrity … [Read more...] about Why PCB Design Constraints Should Drive Your Design Flow
AUTOSAR Development (Part 4): Early Testing of AUTOSAR-based ECUs and Subsystems
In this session we will see how the VAP prototype ECU can be used for proof of concept, validating ECU configurations and integration with real ECUs. … [Read more...] about AUTOSAR Development (Part 4): Early Testing of AUTOSAR-based ECUs and Subsystems
Closing the gaps between PCB layout design and manufacturing
The Valor® NPI software from Mentor Graphics is a unique new product introduction (NPI) solution that seamlessly links printed circuit board (PCB) layout design and manufacturing processes and … [Read more...] about Closing the gaps between PCB layout design and manufacturing
AUTOSAR Development (Part 2): SW Development and Virtual Validation
In this session we will see how to refine the system-level design from the previous session into detailed SW implementation for a selected set of SW components. We will define the internal structure … [Read more...] about AUTOSAR Development (Part 2): SW Development and Virtual Validation
AUTOSAR Development (Part 3): ECU SW Design and Configuration
Learn how to configure the BSW of the ECU according to the needs of the application, using input from the previous design steps. We will demonstrate the power of a top-down development approach … [Read more...] about AUTOSAR Development (Part 3): ECU SW Design and Configuration
7 Key Considerations for Effective Chip-Package Thermal Co-Design… A High-Level ‘How To’ Guide
Chip-package co-design is important for several reasons. Designing a large high power die, e.g. a System-on-Chip (SoC) without considering how to get the heat out is likely to lead to problems later … [Read more...] about 7 Key Considerations for Effective Chip-Package Thermal Co-Design… A High-Level ‘How To’ Guide
Facebook’s Datacenter Server Design
Large-scale datacenters consume megawatts in power and cost hundreds of millions of dollars to equip. Reducing the energy and cost footprint of servers can therefore have substantial impact. Web, … [Read more...] about Facebook’s Datacenter Server Design
AUTOSAR Development (Part 1): Requirements and System-level Design
This session focuses on the first steps in the development of an AUTOSAR example system, starting from requirements, defining the SW architecture and the ECU/network topology, allocating SW to ECUs, … [Read more...] about AUTOSAR Development (Part 1): Requirements and System-level Design
