Technology Showcase:
WiMax - Wireless Networks Extended
The major advantages of systems based on WiMax are: the ability to quickly provision service, even in areas that are hard for wired infrastructure to reach; the avoidance of steep installation costs; and the ability to overcome the physical limitations of traditional wired infrastructure. This technology provides a flexible, cost-effective means of filling existing gaps in broadband coverage, and creating new forms of broadband services not envisioned in a “wired” world. Read more..

2. Processor Architecture for High Performance Video Decode

High definition television (HDTV) content broadcasts over cable and from terrestrial and satellite stations are appearing in viewing markets around the world. Due to consumer demand and government mandates, HDTV capable digital consumer video equipment will be sold in high volumes in the next few years. Chipmakers, today, are designing the chips to drive these devices. More...

3. Using formal verification to create robust IP
Contemporary system-on-chip (SoC) design demands the use of pre-existing
intellectual property (IP). It is simply not practical to develop many millions of gates of new logic from scratch while meeting both project resource and time-to-market constraints. More...
- By Jay Littlefield

4. Best Practices for a Reusable Verification Environment
Verification reuse is critical to the productivity and efficiency of system-on-chip (SoC) verification. The foundation of this technique is well-designed verification codes and components that implement reusability techniques. More...

5. Making Converter Integration Happen in Mobile Phone SoCs
In order to interface with the "real world", cell phones require system-on-a-chip (SoC)-level integration of high-performance digital-to-analog (DAC) and/or analog-to-digital (ADC) conversion IP blocks. ADC and DAC converter blocks must also be coupled with high-accuracy, low-noise voltage-reference circuits. More...
