Choosing the best Standard Cell Library without falling into the traps of traditional benchmarking methods
A.BONZO

Introduction Assessing the comparative performances of several Standard Cell Libraries in a reliable way is a tricky project as it deals with statistical issues. The methodology traditionally used in the industry to benchmark Standard Cell Libraries is the so- called “cell-by-cell” approach. It consists in taking one or two basic cells, such as a NAND2

Performance of high resolution analog functions embedded into a SoC guaranteed by the Three-Noise-Path method
F.ESPALIEU

Introduction System-on-Chip (SoC) integrators have to put in place appropriate verifications in order to guarantee performance of analog Virtual Components (ViCs), also called IP blocks, once integrated into the SoC. Such performances may be affected by various kinds of noise and the most critical issue in integrating analog functions is then to assess potential noise

Application hardware simulation to optimize system functions
ICCAD 2009 – China
N. Dufayard, H.Kuo, G.Depeyrot

Introduction Full-chip simulations are very quickly limited by excessive simulation time as well as by the availability of appropriate models. In the same way, simulation of a system cannot be effectively performed at the most accurate level both because it requires too much simulation time and because multi-domain systems cannot be accurately modeled using a

Selecting an embedded MCU: How to avoid evaluation trap?
IP-ESC’09 Conference – Grenoble, France
D.Maurer, A.Descombes

Abstract The main goal of this article is to focus on the difficulties encountered by SoC integrators when selecting an embedded microcontroller (MCU). Indeed, the selection is based on MCU performances, but the comparison can be difficult and compromised when considering all the parameters influencing these performances. In this article, we will detail how to

Abstract Time-to-market is still required to decrease in state-of-the-art design processes. Reli- able verification of complete mixed-signal systems, i.e. logic and mixed signal electronics and systems with their attached peripherals, such as sensors and actuators, is needed to be performed quickly to fit in the enhanced design process. While the verification of the logic part,

Abstract Mixed-signal simulation of complete systems, i.e. pure ana- log/digital systems or electronics with its attached peripher- als, such as sensor and actuator systems, already have a firm place in today’s design process. While the digital part veri- fication has gained a speed increase through the use of Ac- cellera’s Property Specification Language (PSL), the
