More companies are bringing their chip and component design operations in-house. To keep chip designers current, we’ve compiled a short guide to SiP components and what designers should include in a package for a specialized processor or ASIC. https://bit.ly/3R6Qeww #AllegroX #Cadence

People often ask why XYLON QUATTRO is so much better than HPC-based data loggers and HIL systems. Here’s part of the answer. XYLON QUATTRO isn't just a super-powered PC expanded with off-the-shelf PCIe IO cards and software that's still under development. Instead, it is a purpose-built embedded system, designed with custom-made chips (adaptive AMD SoCs and FPGAs) that enable data manipulation at the nanosecond level—beyond the capabilities of general computing platforms. Every component, from PCBs and FPGA/SoC hardware designs to firmware, application, and test software, is entirely designed in-house at Xylon. This gives us not only top-tier performance, but also the ability to fine-tune the system to customer requirements and fully integrate with cutting-edge automotive systems. The photo shows the PCB electronic board from XYLON QUATTRO that clearly demonstrates the level of sophistication of this hardware platform. #EmbeddedSystems #FPGA #SoC #DataLoggers #HILSystems #HighPerformanceComputing #TechInnovation #CustomHardware #AutomotiveTechnology #PCBDesign #XYLONQUATTRO #AdvancedEngineering #adas #autonomous

Title: Keep Your Projects Running: Support for Discontinued AMD/Xilinx Products As many of you may have heard, AMD has recently issued a Product Discontinuation Notice for a range of legacy FPGA and CPLD product families, including XC9500XL, CoolRunner XPLA 3, CoolRunner II, Spartan II, and Spartan 3, 3A, 3AN, 3E, and 3ADSP. These products, which have been a crucial part of the electronics industry for nearly a quarter of a century, will see their final orders accepted through June 29, 2024. This decision follows AMD's acquisition of Xilinx in 2022 and marks the end of availability for these older Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs). At Honest Components, we understand the impact this discontinuation may have on your ongoing and future projects. Our mission is to ensure that your projects do not face any disruptions or delays due to the unavailability of these critical components. How Honest Components Can Help: Trusted Suppliers Network: We have cultivated a robust network of trusted suppliers over the years. This network allows us to source genuine, hard-to-find components, including the recently discontinued AMD/Xilinx products. Our commitment is to ensure that you have access to the parts you need, when you need them. Guaranteed Testing with Global ETS: Quality and reliability are paramount at Honest Components. Every order is subject to rigorous testing and verification by Global ETS, ensuring that you receive components that meet the highest standards of performance and reliability. Dedicated Support: Our team is here to assist you in navigating through this transition smoothly. Whether you need help in finding a direct replacement or exploring alternative solutions, our experts are ready to provide the support you require. The discontinuation of these AMD/Xilinx products marks the end of an era but also the beginning of a new chapter with Honest Components. We are here to bridge the gap, providing you with the support and solutions to keep your projects moving forward without interruption. For more information on how we can assist you with your specific needs or to inquire about specific parts, please contact us directly. Let's work together to keep your projects on track. #AMD #Xilinx #FPGA #CPLD #ElectronicComponents #SupplyChain #HonestComponents #EngineeringSupport

#9/n #DFT From previous posts, basic concepts about SCAN, SCAN FF, SCAN Chain, etc. are clear. Now, we move towards DFT methods provided by Synopsys. Synopsys provides 5 different types of DFT insertion solutions (called Codecs) at the moment (in the order of release timeline): 1. DFTMAX Compression 2. DFTMAX ULTRA Compression 3. Logic Built-In Self Test (LBIST/XLBIST) 4. DFTMAX SEQ 5. Streaming Fabric Each of these solutions are implemented through DC/DCNXT/DFTC/TMM (TMM= TestMAX Manager). For all above-mentioned solutions, DFT flow is as following: 1) Prefix the design (Insert pins/muxes/gates before codec insertion according to requirements), 2) Insert Codec, 3) Verify Codec and function of netlist is okay, 4) Generate patterns (ATPG), 5) Simulate patterns with and without timing constraints. Above mentioned flow has some extra steps involved but it depends on organizations that which steps they want to include. But in general, the flow will look like above-mentioned 5 steps. Each codec has its own requirements for implementation which I will discuss in the next posts later.

Hi Folks 𝗣𝗖𝗜𝗲 (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is a high-speed, point-to-point serial communication protocol used for connecting peripherals to a host system. Its main features include: 1. 𝙋𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙩-𝙩𝙤-𝙋𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙩 𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚: Unlike the shared parallel bus architecture of PCI, PCIe uses a dedicated point-to-point connection between the host and each device, improving bandwidth and reducing contention. 2. 𝙃𝙞𝙜𝙝 𝘽𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙬𝙞𝙙𝙩𝙝 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙎𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮: PCIe supports multiple lanes (x1, x2, x4, x8, x16, etc.), where each lane consists of two differential pairs for transmit and receive. The bandwidth scales linearly with the number of lanes. 3. 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣: PCIe uses high-speed serial links instead of the parallel data transfer in PCI, achieving higher clock rates and better signal integrity. 4. 𝙁𝙪𝙡𝙡-𝘿𝙪𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙭 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: PCIe enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data across lanes, increasing efficiency. 5. 𝙋𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙩-𝘽𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙤𝙘𝙤𝙡: Data is transmitted in packets, allowing for efficient and flexible communication. 6. 𝘽𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮: PCIe maintains software compatibility with PCI, allowing legacy systems to interface with PCIe devices without major changes. 7. 𝙋𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩: PCIe includes advanced power management features such as Active State Power Management (ASPM), reducing energy consumption. 8. 𝙌𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚 (𝙌𝙤𝙎): It supports traffic prioritization and flow control, enabling efficient handling of different types of data. #𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗳𝗽𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻 #vhdl #verilog #asic #semiconductor #engineering #transistor #technology #vlsi #fpga #coding #hdl #pcie
