5 Reasons to Use a Soft-Core MIPS Processor in Your Next Custom Design

by Jim Turley

Now there’s a 100 percent MIPS-compatible soft processor available just for Altera^® FPGAs and HardCopy^® ASICs. The MP32 is also the industry’s first soft processor that runs the VxWorks operating system.

Watch this 10-minute video to learn five reasons why you should use MP32 in your next custom embedded design. You’ll also see:

How easily you can develop software for MP32 using a Stratix^® III FPGA Development Kit running the processor.
How quickly you can stitch together a system using the Qsys system integration tool.
How your favorite development tools can make your design process easier.

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.
