Lately, there has been increasing discussion in the industry about the need for a set of standards that specifically support an interoperable description of intent for analog and custom design, a.k.a.

Exact part location and minimal clearances seem like the Holy Grail of precision mechanical systems. But insisting on the slimmest tolerances can make assembly and disassembly difficult. Assembly ...

As designers move to 65nm technologies and below, the convergence of performance-driven design constraints and yield-driven manufacturing constraints intensifies the demand for new approaches for ...

Signoff of a system on chip (SoC) or IP design has multiple aspects, but often timing closure is the most challenging. Early use of a static timing analysis (STA) tool is clearly important, and such a ...

As the industry migrates to more advanced manufacturing technologies, the resulting complexity threatens to increase delays and dramatically boost the cost of differentiated custom silicon for ...

The primary objective of the introductory engineering projects course is to provide an overview of engineering careers, primarily through open-ended, hands-on design experiences. This text and ...
