Constraint Random Verification with Python and Cocotb
Abstract: Testing digital hardware has never been an easy job, and it won’t get easier any time soon. But that doesn’t mean writing test code can’t be enjoyable and productive! Cocotb, an approach to use Python as verification language, is bringing the joy back to verification. It allows developers to start with small, directed testbenches,… Read More »Constraint Random Verification with Python and Cocotb
Boost LPDDR5 Verification from IP to System Level
Overview Low power DRAM is being adopted in a wide array of markets, including automotive, PCs and networking systems built for 5G and AI applications. The specification complexity is increasing to meet higher bandwidth, better performance and extended latencies for multiple use cases. Ensuring that JEDEC low-power double data rate 5 (LPDDR5) specification and overall… Read More »Boost LPDDR5 Verification from IP to System Level
CXL and IDE: Important Considerations of Protecting High Speed Interconnects
In a few short years, CXL (Compute Express Link) has evolved from an idea to a rapidly proliferating low latency interconnect standard being adopted into data centers, high performance computing, and cloud computing. However, as the adoption has increased, so has the security threat model users face. To address this, the CXL 2.0 standard has… Read More »CXL and IDE: Important Considerations of Protecting High Speed Interconnects

The Evolution of Process TCAD in Semiconductor R&D and Manufacturing
Shela Aboud, Ph.D., Synopsys Today, nearly every aspect of an integrated circuit is designed using EDA software. Technology computer aided design (TCAD) tools are used for modeling front-end-of-line manufacturing, including the fabrication and electrical characterization of individual transistors. I will discuss how TCAD has evolved to keep up with technology evolution and how new drivers… Read More »The Evolution of Process TCAD in Semiconductor R&D and Manufacturing
What’s Needed to Perform End-to-End Testing for 5G Open Radio Access Network SoCs
Testing an O-RAN Radio Unit (O-RU) SoC at full scale implies sending realistic traffic, in conformance with current specifications and at the right time on the right interfaces to simulate complex scenarios and cover as many corner cases as possible. It requires a robust debug methodology which can provide quick turn around and appropriate window… Read More »What’s Needed to Perform End-to-End Testing for 5G Open Radio Access Network SoCs
