1. What platform ASICs are and when to use them
Although system designers in need of custom logic solutions are increasingly faced with new technical challenges, they are armed with new advancements and choices in custom silicon offerings. One of those options is the choice between cell-based ASIC and platform ASIC solutions. More...

2. FPGAs Supplant Processors and ASICs In Advanced Imaging Applications
Used primarily as either an ASIC prototyping platform or as a time-to-market stopgap until the company can produce a processor-based or ASIC-based system, the FPGA has only begun to prove its worth as an end-product solution. More...
-By Craig Sanderson, Systems Application Engineer, Nallatech Inc., and Dave Shand, Senior Systems Engineer, Nallatech Inc.

3. How to boost verification productivity
The amount of time spent on verification now exceeds the amount of time spent on design, comprising up to 70 percent of the total development effort, and the cost of failure continues to increase. ABV is critical because this methodology allows the designer to discover and diagnose deeply buried design flaws, which impact the ability to deliver products in competitive time-to-market windows. More...
-By Robert Hum vice president and general manager of the Mentor Graphics Design Verification and Test Division

4. Reducing false errors in clock-domain crossing analysis
One of the biggest challenges of system-on-chip (SOC) designs is that different blocks operate on independent clocks. Integrating these blocks via the processor bus, memory ports, peripheral busses, and other interfaces can be troublesome because unpredictable behavior can result when the asynchronous interfaces are not properly synchronized. More...

5. How to select verification IP
One of the first things designers look for in their potential vendors is an in-depth knowledge of the relevant protocol specifications. A vendor's VIP portfolio, quality, design process and expert technical support are the elements that are sometimes missed and end up sinking chips. More...
