Security verification package makes SoCs more bullet-proof
Tortuga Logic announced a partnership with Synopsys to offer a security verification solution that identifies and prevents vulnerabilities in system-on-chip (SoC) designs. The basis of the solution is the combination of security features built into Synopsys’ DesignWare ARC Processor IP and Radix-S, Tortuga Logic’s industry-leading security verification software. Radix-S scans a system’s hardware and software […]
GUI for advanced inertial measurement units simplifies custom motion-sensing designs
STMicroelectronics’ Unico GUI greatly simplifies configuring the finite state machine and machine learning core (FSM and MLC) logic of its latest Inertial Measurement Units (IMU), including the recently announced LSM6DSO and LSM6DSOX 6-axis modules. The FSM logic lets users run gesture and motion-recognition algorithms directly in the sensor for always-on convenience and low power consumption. The MLC […]
RTL synthesizer delivers faster run times, better-quality power and timing M
Synopsys announced the availability of Design Compiler NXT, the latest innovation in the Design Compiler family of RTL synthesis products. Early adopters have deployed the new technologies in their design flows and are realizing faster runtimes and very tight correlation with Synopsys’ IC Compiler II place-and-route system, leading to shorter, more convergent design cycles. In […]
