The Power Management IC for the Intel® AtomTM Processor E6xx Series and Intel® Platform Controller Hub EG20T

Time to market, cost, board size constraints, reliability and design capabilities are among the motivating factors in choosing Power Management IC versus a discrete solution. However, a discrete solution allows design optimization, offers higher power efficiency, flexibility and is easy to debug. Often, it is not possible to determine which choice will be better without understanding the details of design requirement.

This paper aims to discuss both the advantages and disadvantages of using Power Management IC versus a discrete solution on the Intel® AtomTM Processor E6xx series platform.

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.
