Plotting a Course to Functional Safety

Accelera’s Roadmap for Design Automation and Tool Interoperability

There are many roads to prosperity, but one must be taken. Inaction leads nowhere. – Robert Zoellick

Security is not implemented overnight. Standards don’t create themselves. And our design lives won’t get easier if security and standards aren’t addressed at every step of the game. In this week’s podcast, Brent Sherman (Intel), Adam Sherer (Cadence) and I chat about the challenges of security characterization within IP implementation and delivery in a functional safety flow and why Accelera is looking to EE design community help them steer a path steer forward to comprehensive standard in this space. Also this week, we take a closer look at how MIT is creating hydrogen peroxide out of thin air. (Spoiler Alert: It involves using just electricity, water and air!)

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.
