Cracking the Mystery of Emulation

by Amelia Dalton

In honor of the Design Automation Conferernce coming up next week, this week’s Fish Fry is all about emulation and includes a special interview with Lauro Rizzatti of EVE. Lauro and I chat about how emulation can give you more visibility into your design than an FPGA prototyping board will, how ESL plays with emulation, and why RTL simulation may not be the best plan for future process nodes.

Also this week, I give everyone an another chance to win a TI MSP-EXP430FR5739 Experimenter Board (courtesy of Mouser), but you’ll have to tune in to find out how.

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.
