Design West 2012 Part Two

In this week’s Fish Fry, I look into two ever-present themes at this year’s Design West Expo: power and software. On the software side, I interview David Kleidermacher (Green Hills Software – CTO) about embedded security, virtualization, and even Green Hills’s collaboration with Nintendo. On the power side, I chat with Infinite Power Solutions about energy harvesting and find out why they don’t call themselves “Limited Power Solutions”.

I have one more MAX V CPLD Development Kit courtesy of Altera to give away this week, but you’ll have to listen to find out how to win.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
