Technical Paper Newsletter 7-8-2009 Tech Paper Library Home  NEW FEATURED TECHNICAL PAPERS The New Wave in Functional Verification: Intelligent Testbench Automation
Mark Olen • Mentor Graphics
This paper shows how intelligent testbench automation achieves a higher level of functional coverage at the module, sub-module, and system level and finds more bugs faster than traditional methods.
SystemC Verification with ModelSim
Mentor Graphics
This technical paper introduces SystemC verification with ModelSim, starting with setting up the simulation environment, and followed by a discussion of the use model.
Advanced Verification of Low Power Designs
Mentor Graphics
Power consumption due to leakage has become a major factor in the total power consumption equation for battery powered and sub-100 nm designs, compelling design teams to adopt various power management design techniques.
Signal Integrity Optimization with Olympus-SoC
Mentor Graphics
This paper explores the techniques for signal integrity prevention and repair in the Olympus-SoC place and route system. Signal integrity (SI) is a growing problem as higher interconnect density, increasing wire and via resistance, larger variations in resistance, lower threshold voltages, and faster clock speeds conspire to reduce the noise immunity of digital CMOS circuits.
Monolithic Synchronous Step-Down Regulator Delivers up to 12A from a Wide Input Voltage Range
Charlie Zhao and Henry Zhang • Linear Technology
This regulator family uses a constant on-time valley current mode architecture that is capable of operating at very low duty cycles at high frequency and with very fast transient response. All are available in low profile (0.9mm max) QFN packages.
