Tech time warp: meet the prehistoric predecessors of today’s smart technologies

RAMAC.jpg

Today’s devices are so beautifully designed, so powerful, and so deeply and seamlessly integrated with the Internet of Things that it’s easy to forget just how distinctly our everyday technology has evolved in the past few decades. What was cutting edge less than a generation ago would now be classified as prehistoric, relegated with the dinosaurs to pages of history books. And yet almost every one of us was once delighted with the possibilities these new and evolving technologies presented.

Lest we forget how thrilled we ought to be with today’s tech toys, I’d like to evoke the spirit of “Throwback Thursday” with a few reminders of just how far consumer electronics have come in recent years.

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.
