Abstract

DesignCon is the premier annual Silicon Valley event for the electronic design automation (EDA) and semiconductor industry&#046; The event features more than 90 technical sessions covering cutting&#8211;edge product case studies, design methodologies, and new product technologies, including nanotechnology&#046; The technical exhibition consists of more than 130 leading EDA tool providers, semiconductor manufacturers, system&#8211;design houses, and Intellectual Property (IP) providers&#046; In addition, the Reference Design Village in the exhibit area provides hands&#8211;on demonstrations of reference design kits described by related presentations in the technical sessions&#046; This format of tightly coupled technical presentations and exhibits provides a unique and stimulating setting for design engineers to learn from each other&#046;<br>DesignCon is the first major EDA and system&#8211;on&#8211;chip (SoC) event each year, well positioned for new product announcements and company launches&#046; The technical sessions, technical exhibiton, product demos, and Reference Design Village provide a platform for practicing engineers to interact with their peers in a manner conducive to finding solution to their most challenging design problems&#046; DesignCon addresses the needs of electronic design engineers and allied professionals with a need to stay on top of current developments in design&#8211;engineering theory, technique, and application strategies&#046; <b>Keywords:</b> Functional Verification/Validation<br>Acceleration techniques, Application&#8211;specific processor design verification, Assertion&#8211;based verification, Asynchronous co&#8211;design, Debugging, Formal verification, Functional coverage, Hardware/software co&#8211;verification, Mixed&#8211;signal, RF, Partitioning, Prototyping<br>Low&#8211;Power System Architecture<br>Clocking, Implementation efficiency, Hardware vs&#046; software, Leakage management, Low&#8211;power instruction sets, Multivoltage systems<br>Advanced System Design (including embedded software & analog, RF, packaging)<br>Cost efficiency, Data management & consistency, Design methodologies & management, Case studies, Distributed teams, Outsourcing, Hierarchical design, High&#8211;level design languages, IP cores, Nanotechnology, Platform&#8211;based design, Reconfigurable design, Reusability, System simulation and validation (inc&#046; human interface, physical channels), System partitioning<br>Physical Design (on&#8211;chip)<br>Crosstalk, Interconnect, Leakage, Measurement, Mixed&#8211;signal, RF design, Modeling & simulation, Signal integrity, Timing closure, Physical timing closure, RT level<br>Test & Debug<br>Automatic test pattern generation, Design&#8211;for&#8211;test, Fault modeling, Self test & self repair, System redundancy, Test coverage, Testing gigabit I/O<br>High&#8211;Speed, High&#8211;Performance System Design<br>10&#8211;40 Gbps design, Bus architecture physical design, Chip & system co&#8211;design, Design impacts of board materials, EMI effects, High data&#8211;throughput on copper, Interconnect, Cables & connectors, IC packaging, PCB, Via hole, Jitter, Measurement, Mixed&#8211;signal, RF design, Modeling & simulation, Open, scalable architectures, Optical designs, parallel optical modules, SerDes design techniques, Signal conditioning, Signal integrity, Crosstalk, Single&#8211;ended vs&#046; differential I/O, Standards, Power distribution modeling, Power supply integrity<br>Automotive System Design Challenges<br>Wireless Design Challenges<br>
