Twenty-eight nanometers doesn’t give much room for error. When you’re spending the bucks to spin a new chip at that process node, you really, really want to get it right.
Altera has made that challenge even steeper with their new Stratix V FPGA family, attempting a number of new features at the same time as they try to wrestle the bristly next-step-up-the-curve of Moore’s Law to the ground. As we mentioned in our previous article on the company’ … Read More → "Stratix V"
If there is a hierarchy of techie-ness, analog designers come pretty high-up in the hierarchy. Where digital IC design teams have moved from drawing polygons, through schematic entry to RTL, and are now grappling with ESL tools, the analog guys continue to draw polygons. And analog design is hard: it takes a long time to learn to do, and it requires a special mind-set to do it well. This has always been a problem, and it is becoming an even more serious problem as analog moves from being a niche activity to something … Read More → "Analog’s Little Helpers"
