ASIC simulator facilitates chip performance tweaking
A critical stage in creating a custom ASIC is verifying that it does what it is supposed to do and in the best way possible. Typically, this is done by synthesising RTL and running it to see how well it performs against the performance specification that was defined at the start of the design. By […]
GaN reference design simplifies development of 65W IC fast charter applications
Silanna Semiconductor has launched a new Active Clamp Flyback (ACF)-based reference design that will simplify and speed the development of 65W 1C fast charger applications. Built around Silanna’s SZ1131 ACF controller and incorporating Transphorm’s Super GaN FET, the RD-29 is a production-ready 65W 1C USB-PD reference design for travel adapters and battery chargers. The reference […]
Bidirectional 48-12-V two-phase converter demo board targets mild-hybrid vehicle apps
EPC announces the availability of the EPC9163, a 2 kW, two-phase 48 V – 12 V bidirectional converter that operates with 96.5 % efficiency in a very small footprint. The design of this demonstration board is scalable; that is, two converters can be paralleled to achieve 4 kW or three converters can be paralleled to […]
Prototyping tool fits up to 64 FPGAs in a standard rack
S2C announced the release of Logic Matrix LX2, designed to satisfy the demands of enterprise prototyping that requires both high-capacity and high-performance. Built on the Virtex UltraScale+ VU19P – Xilinx’s largest and fastest UltraScale+ FPGA – the LX2 is ideal for verifying both hardware and software components of hyperscale designs ranging into the billions of ASIC gates. […]
eFPGA block tools enable fast designs on UMC 22-nm process
QuickLogic Corporation announced the availability of its first customer-defined eFPGA block from the Australis IP Generator for the UMC 22nm process. The Australis tool enables rapid eFPGA IP generation for nearly any foundry and node. This eFPGA IP core is available now, and any future customizations of it for companies using this same foundry/process node combination can […]
Tool suite works with open-source automation servers
LDRA announced a plug-in that brings the capabilities of the LDRA tool suite into the Jenkins automation server for continuous integration (CI) for agile software development. Jenkins automates and manages the build process and connects build and version control systems with quality management and automated testing processes for large-scale system-level software projects. LDRA has long […]
SDK supports NXP MCUs
MikroElektronika has announced that its multi-architectural software development kit, mikroSDK 2.0, now supports 147 MCUs from NXP. mikroSDK is a collection of open-source software libraries with unified API and software development tools that makes application code portable and reusable on many different platforms and architectures, with virtually no code changes. The addition of NXP’s Kinetis family […]
IC platform integrates 3D design
The comprehensive, high-capacity 3D-IC platform from Cadence Design System integrates 3D design planning, implementation, and system analysis in a single, unified cockpit. The Integrity 3D-IC platform underpins Cadence’s third-generation 3D-IC solution, providing customers with system-driven power, performance, and area (PPA) for individual chiplets through integrated thermal, power, and static timing analysis capabilities. Chip designers creating […]
