Find Amelia at ESC/Design West 2012

EE Journal is rolling out the most fantastic contest EVER! Yes, if I do say so myself…because this year, we are unveiling the super ultra fantastic Contest “FIND AMELIA AT ESC/DESIGN WEST 2012.” The first person who finds me and mentions a MAX V CPLD Development Kit will win a kit of their very own.

Here’s the deal:  I will be trolling the expo show floor at ESC/Design West this year. The first person who finds me on the show floor will receive a MAX V CPLD Development Kit and a slew of other awesome goodies from Fish Fry’s generous sponsor Altera. In order to win, you will only need to find me and say “Hey, can I have that MAX V CPLD Development Kit?” (and not something like “Excuse me, miss, can you tell me what time it is?”) then hand me a business card and submit to an interview (mwahahaha) and the kit is yours!

Also, make sure to listen to this week’s Fish Fry (which will be live on Friday). I will be giving out some secret tips on how to find me at the show.

And the fine print (because there’s always fine print, right?): employees of Altera (and their competitors) are not eligible. People I don’t like are not eligible.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
