Hardware-Assisted Electronic Pesticide

Findin' Them Buggers Fast

Maybe it’s an itch that just won’t go away. Maybe it’s a daydream buster – Aw dang, I didn’t think of that. Or, maybe it’s a recurring nightmare that runs you ragged each and every night. Yep, we’re talking about hardware-assisted verification. It ain’t easy and nobody ever said it was going to be. In this week’s Fish Fry my guest is Frank Schirrmeister from Cadence Design Systems. We chat about why hardware-assisted verification is on everybody’s mind these days, and what we can do to make our verification lives a whole bunch easier.

We’ll also tell you how you can join the IoT party with Atmel’s new SAM D20 Cortex M0+ family, and our giveaway this week is an Atmel AVR Butterfly (courtesy of Newark element14).

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.
