USB 3.1 Type-C IP enables high-bandwidth, protected data transfer
Synopsys has introduced the DesignWare USB-C 3.1/DisplayPort 1.3 IP solution which integrates USB Type-C (USB-C), SuperSpeed USB 10Gb/s (USB 3.1 Gen 2) and DisplayPort 1.3 interfaces with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) 2.2 IP. The solution accelerates development of mobile and digital office SoCs that require 10Gb/s data transfer and delivery of secure audio/video content and power through a single USB Type-C connector.
Parasitic extraction improves customer design efficiency
The 2015.12 release of Synopsys' StarRC solution delivers key technology innovations to address the increasing parasitic extraction and signoff challenges arising from Moore's Law scaling continuation. The new innovations significantly raise the bar on performance and scalability, while providing an improved architecture designed to leverage mainstream or leading-edge compute resources more efficiently.
Virtual prototyping supports IEEE 1801-2015 UPF 3.0 standard
Synopsys has announced that its Platform Architect with MultiCore Optimisation (MCO) virtual prototyping solution is the first to support the IEEE 1801-2015 UPF (Unified Power Format) 3.0 system-level IP power modelling standard. The new standard enables efficient creation and reuse of interoperable IP power models for early analysis of power and performance for multicore SoC architectures.
Software upgrade enables RF system simulation
The latest release of its affordable RF simulation and synthesis software, Genesys 2015 has been released by Keysight Technologies. Designed for circuit and system designers, the software features breakthrough Keysight Sys-Parameters that enables RF system simulation with off-the-shelf component datasheets; and comprehensive RF circuit synthesis to enable the industry’s fastest realisation of RF systems and circuits.
Changing the landscape of computing – 30 years on
A decade before IBM launched the world’s first smartphone, a team of Stanford University researchers and Silicon Valley veterans came together to design a microprocessor architecture that would forever change the landscape of computing. The year was 1986 and the newly formed company was MIPS Computer Systems - a small start-up led by current day Stanford University President John L. Hennessy.
Powerful developer library recognises 1D & 2D barcodes
The Imaging Source, an international manufacturer of machine vision cameras, has just announced the release of its latest software, IC Barcode for 1D and 2D barcode recognition. IC Barcode is a highly accurate and powerful developer library, which recognises 1D and 2D barcodes from single and live images. With only small changes in code, this SDK can integrate barcode recognition functionality into new or existing applications.
Virtualisation platform enables secure Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
AllGo Systems' RACE Smartphone Connectivity technology has been integrated with Green Hills Software's INTEGRITY Multivisor virtualisation platform for managed access to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto services. Based on the trusted INTEGRITY RTOS, INTEGRITY Multivisor provides a flexible software architecture to consolidate safety- and security-critical automotive functions with consumer OSs like Linux, QNX, Android or Windows.
