Adventures in Verification Land

Rolling the Dice and Spinning the Wheel

Take two steps forward and three steps back. Not all parts of our design process are created equal. In this week’s Fish Fry, we examine one of the most painful, frightening, and frustrating parts of our design process – verification. My first guest is Tom Anderson (Breker Verification Systems), and we chat about formal verification, what Breker’s new verification technology TrekSoC-Si is all about, and where you can the best vinyl in Silicon Valley. Then, continuing the formal V theme – we go to Vigyan Singhal, CEO of Oski Technology. Vigyan and I dive into the details of the “Decoding Formal Club.” The first rule of “Decoding Formal Club”? Well, we’re gonna break that one right here. Vigyan also reveals the secret behind the name “Oski”. Also this week, I investigate how Netflix is looking to read your thoughts with a little help from Amazon’s Cloud services. Better put on that foil hat!

MaxLinear Integrates Analog & Digital Design in One Chip with Cadence 3D Solvers

Sponsored by Cadence Design Systems

MaxLinear has the unique capability of integrating analog and digital design on the same chip. Because of this, the team developed some interesting technology in the communication space. In the optical infrastructure domain, they created the first fully integrated 5nm CMOS PAM4 DSP. All their products solve critical communication and high-frequency analysis challenges.

Learn more about how MaxLinear is using Cadence’s Clarity 3D Solver and EMX Planar 3D Solver in their design process.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.

E-Mobility - Charging Stations & Wallboxes AC or DC Charging?
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Andreas Nadler from Würth Elektronik investigate e-mobility charging stations and wallboxes. We take a closer look at the benefits, components, and functions of AC and DC wallboxes and charging stations. They also examine the role that DC link capacitors play in power conversion and how Würth Elektronik can help you create your next AC and DC wallbox or charging station design.
