Development tool adds ARM64 simulator
SEGGER has added a complete instruction set simulator to its latest version of Embedded Studio for ARM. This follows the recently added compiler, linker, and runtime support for ARM64, which made it possible to generate and debug ARM64 programs, for devices such as, but not limited to, Cortex-A53, Cortex-A57, and Cortex-A72. Adding the simulator brings ARM64 support […]
Digital design software highlights improved DDR5 simulation
Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS) 2023 for high-speed digital (HSD) design with new Memory Designer capabilities for modeling and simulation of next-generation interface standards such as Double Data Rate 5 (DDR5). As data center throughput climbs, performance expectations of servers and high-performance computing drive the need for new high-density, ultra-fast memory or […]
Sensor simulation software provides high-rez visualization for testing autonomous vehicle functions
dSPACE is launching AURELION, a new sensor simulation solution that provides high-resolution visualization for testing and validating functions for autonomous driving. The solution, which can be operated either in the cloud or locally, generates photorealistic images in real-time for camera simulation and, using ray tracing, an exact environment for radar and lidar simulation. With AURELION, […]
Simulation software mimics Lidar behavior for speedy sensor development
LeddarTech announces the launch of LeddarEcho LiDAR Simulation Software for Tier-1 sensor and perception system developers. LeddarEcho uses the dSPACE sensor-realistic simulator AURELION to emulate the LiDAR sensor’s operation in a series of phases by providing a high-fidelity automotive front LiDAR sensor model for software-in-the-loop (SiL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) applications. This unique simulation model results […]
LXI matrix module provides cold switching to 750 V DC up to 2A at 60 W
Pickering Interfaces launched the 65-218, a 50×4, 1-pole LXI matrix plug-in module. Used in conjunction with the 65-200-002 LXI modular chassis, these modules are part of a scalable, high voltage matrix platform that enables the construction of matrices of up to 300×4 in steps of 50×4. Available in two variants that are capable of delivering […]
Simulation testing for high-accuracy GPS services
Spirent Communications plc announced the launch of the industry’s first commercially available simulation test solution for the Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS), via a beta interface implementation based on HAS ICD version 1.2. During the development of the solution, Spirent collaborated with GMV, a leader in cutting-edge GNSS high-accuracy technologies. Galileo HAS will provide free-of-charge […]
Synthetic-data-generation engine helps train AIs
NVIDIA announced NVIDIA Omniverse Replicator, a powerful synthetic-data-generation engine that produces physically simulated synthetic data for training deep neural networks. In its first implementations of the engine, the company introduced two applications for generating synthetic data: one for NVIDIA DRIVE Sim, a virtual world for hosting the digital twin of autonomous vehicles, and another for […]
ASIC simulator facilitates chip performance tweaking
A critical stage in creating a custom ASIC is verifying that it does what it is supposed to do and in the best way possible. Typically, this is done by synthesising RTL and running it to see how well it performs against the performance specification that was defined at the start of the design. By […]
Software runs power integrity analysis for analog, digital, mixed-signal IC designs of any size
The new mPower power integrity software for analog, digital and mixed signal IC designs is the industry’s first and only IC power integrity verification solution to provide virtually unlimited scalability for analog, digital, and mixed signal ICs, enabling comprehensive power, electromigration (EM) and voltage drop (IR) analysis for even the largest IC designs. mPower software […]
