The Power Delivery Network (PDN) is the backbone of ASIC design. It is used to supply clean power to active circuits in the IC. Voltage drop on the power rails can result in degraded performance, ...

Hardware-based platforms, such as FPGAs with embedded-processor and DSP cores, offer an IP view of system-level development that can complement virtual software prototyping. Much has been written ...

Rapid prototypes serve not only as intermediate deliverables for styling reviews or structural validation, but also as the critical link connecting design concepts to mass production decisions.
