Due to the complexity of ASIC design functions, various IPs are needed during the design process. When designing IPs or using IPs, important considerations are based on IO requirements as well as the functionality and timing requirements of the design. In this context, understanding the various available IPs is very helpful for the design team. … Read more
This morning, we held a brainstorming session with graduate students to discuss the general concepts of SoC design. I found that many students did not grasp the core of SoC design. Now, while the discussion is still fresh, I will record it here. First of all, what is SoC design centered around? SoC design is … Read more
As cars enter the era of electrification and intelligence, the terminology arising from product transformation confuses consumers. For instance, terms related to chips such as CPU, GPU, NPU, SoC, etc. These parameters are particularly important, even rivaling some core component configurations from the era of fuel vehicles. This time, we will conduct a popular science … Read more
