People often confuse the purpose and role of functional specifications and design documents. Design and function should never meet in a document. Design and function must be documented during the ...

Wakefield, MA. – March 22, 2004 – The VSI Alliance (VSIA) today announced that the “Specification for VC/SoC Functional Verification†is now available for VSIA members to download and use.

If I’ve heard it once I’ve heard it a thousand times: Documentation is the least favorite part of engineering. But it also may be one of the most important and is growing to be more so. This was made ...

HVAC product selection is not as easy as it sometimes seems. For sure, the key part of engineering is the KIS principle (Keep It Simple). However, the KID principle (Keep It Defendable) is even more ...

This paper presents an approach to power design specification intent and associated enabled design methodologies that allow a scalable implementation of voltage islands. From a single holistic power ...

Many design teams now strive to create a viable design specification for early hardware/software coverification. Esterel Technologies' latest Esterel Studio release fills that bill by allowing ...

The huge undertaking of verifying a system-on-chip (SoC) design has challenged engineers for more than 20 years –– the amount of time spent on it hasn’t varied much from between 50-70% of the entire ...

Many industrial applications in the automotive, automation, appliance, or medical sectors require power supplies that comply with functional safety standards. If the input voltage of such a power ...

Computational protein design—the automated search for amino acid sequences with defined three-dimensional structures—opens exciting possibilities for the engineering of biomolecules with desired ...
