Historically, component temperature has been correlated with reliability, with early studies relating field failure rates to steady-state component temperature. More recently, physics-based reliability prediction has related failure rates of electronic assemblies to the magnitude of temperature change over an operational cycle (power-on, power-off, power-on…) and rate of temperature change, both of which are influenced by steady-state operating temperature. Electronics failures ...

We recently had the opportunity to catch up with Lee Harrison, Director of Product Marketing for Siemens EDA, to talk about Streaming Scan Network (SSN) buses and the next-generation of design-for-test technology. In the interview, for example, he discusses the significant changes involved with SSN, de-coupling complexity and dependencies, and delivering test-pattern content in a packetised format. Watch the interview ...

Design tools made room for AI at this year’s DAC, as electronic design automation companies integrate the technology to automation, analyse and accelerate designs, reports Caroline Hayes. Siemens Digital Industries software tied two themes of the Design Automation Conference (DAC) together in one new product when it announced Solido Design Environment, an artificial intelligence (AI) -powered IC design and verification ...

A novel approach from Siemens and PDF Solutions improves yield ramp on advanced nodes and solves yield limiters through volume manufacturing. Improving yield is key to reducing manufacturing cost and maximizing profits in a highly competitive semiconductor market. While large yield limiters are addressed early in the process during yield ramp, subtle systematic layout patterns continue to cause physical defects ...

Now in its fifth year of awards, EW BrightSparks sees Electronics Weekly partner with RS Grass Roots to highlight the brightest and most talented young engineers in the UK today. Here, in our series on the latest EW BrightSparks of 2022, we highlight Jessica Reading, who was as an engineering degree apprentice at Siemens and is now an Electrical Design Engineer ...

Siemens Digital Industries Software is to participate in the Rapid Assured Microelectronics Prototypes (RAMP) Phase II initiative. RAMP is a programme established by the US Department of Defense (DoD) to develop secure design and prototyping capabilities to demonstrate how the DoD can securely leverage state-of-the-art microelectronics technologies without depending on a closed-security architecture fabrication process or facility. In 2020, the ...

Siemens Digital has introduced Symphony Pro to extend Symphony’s mixed-signal verification capabilities to support new and advanced Accellera standardised verification methodologies with a visual debug cockpit with claimed productivity improvements of up to 10x. Automotive, imaging, IoT, 5G, computing and storage applications are driving strong demand for greater analogue and mixed-signal content in SoCs. Mixed-signal circuits are increasingly ubiquitous — ...

Siemens Digital Industries Software announced today availability of its leading Nucleus ReadyStart solution for embedded development targeting the fast-growing adoption of the RISC-V architecture. Building on one of the industry’s first commercial real-time operating systems (RTOSes) for RISC-V devices, released in 2021, Siemens’ newest Nucleus ReadyStart embedded development solution includes a host of new features that help customers enhance the ...

There’s a strong case for using hardware-based threat detection and mitigation. SoC design teams fill a mission-critical role in ensuring cyber-physical safety and security for electrical and electronic systems that are connected to the internet. The requirements and tools available to achieve this goal are ever-shifting, but we can be fairly sure that traditional software-only security measures are unlikely to ...
