Modern electronic systems have an increasing level of complexity. There can be a large number of power rails and supply solutions on a system board to power many different loads. Before choosing or ...

Artificial intelligence speeds metasurface design from unit cells to full optical systems, enabling compact imaging, AR and ...

I am writing this while attending NI Week in Austin and am admittedly wowed by National Instruments’ open test platform. NI Week’s theme is “Developing the Future Faster.” The Tuesday keynote included ...

It was a shimmering promise on the horizon: As SOCs (systems on chips) became more complex, we would simply move from RTL (register-transfer level) to the next-higher level of abstraction—what some ...

We’ve all heard it, and it’s said in many ways. Preparation is everything! System-level design is all about thinking early and implementing later. So why not apply what we already know? We even have ...

Electronic enclosures tend to have high thermal mass, which gives an opportunity to use them as a heat sink for a design. By ...

Validate cross-chip data paths in multi-die packages and evaluate the impact on power, performance, and reliability.

During system-level design, engineers must understand the whole system's performance at a high level to see if it meets the required specifications. To do this, they need to specify and evaluate ...

It's easy to lose track of the "big picture" when you are deep into the design and engineering of a next-generation product. Having a focus on a systems approach is important throughout the process.

Before January comes to an end it is time for my annual flashback and brief reflection on where we are in system-level design, and a look at how the state of today compares to the predictions we made ...
