Buffer, and ADC design considerations; all about timing specifications; portable stimulus; Star Trek and the IoT; the Wilson Group's functional verification study; RTOS performance; the Silicon Valley age gap; temperature and humidity sensors; requirements management; and the oft-dreaded question "What do you do for a living?"

Several recent surveys reveal growth in DDRn, USB 3.0, PCIe, HDMI, SATA, and MIPI interfaces. Also, ethernet and ARM buses remain popular in specific areas. By John Blyler, Editorial Director, IP Systems Recently, I came upon a very brief chip design and functional verification survey conducted by Arrow Devices (see Figure 1). Although the survey size was fairly small – 56 …

The holidays aren’t over yet!  Mentor’s Boris Marovic considers the science behind Santa.  Alien technology abounds. Follow an ex-Sparkfun engineer in his travels across Africa spreading robotics. Jama moved into a new headquarters for the new year! Things are a bit slow what with all the mandatory holiday shutdowns.  Here’s some fun holiday reading about the Blocks for the Intel …

In Part II of this story, Cadence, Synopsys and Imperas offer challenges that hardware and software designers will face in verifying system requirements.
