There are times when we become stuck in the past, or choose to believe something that is no longer true or actually never was true. As we get older, we are all guilty of that. History tends to rewrite ...

An evolution is taking place in front-end design – if you wait, it will feel more like a revolution. Your design teams may act like any change at all is a revolution. Nonetheless, evolution is a ...

Carving out the contours to any project life span is always best structured with a steady framework to ground its foundation. Many digital design agencies navigate their strategies and workflows with ...

Systems and semiconductor suppliers are increasingly looking at methodology changes that can help accelerate assembly of chips and systems through one or multiple forms of automation. Why? Over the ...

The first of these was the need for separate design and verification engineering specializations. In traditional methodologies, the designer performed most of the verification. However, this doesn't ...

What should have been a simple data integration project turned into a costly rewrite. Pay attention to effective software development methodologies. We were recently contracted to automate and ...

This course covers the systematic design of real-time digital systems and verification techniques using field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The course presents a top-down design methodology, where ...

Our first article called for the need to change how we think about verification. In this follow-up, we dive deeper into the tools needed for today’s verification. Project milestones are destined to ...
