In SAS, the INPUT and PUT functions are powerful functions that enable you to convert data from character type to numeric type and vice versa. They work by applying SAS formats or informats to data. You cannot fully understand the INPUT and PUT functions without understanding formats and informats in [...]

The post Understand the PUT and INPUT functions in SAS appeared first on The DO Loop.

The INPUT function and PUT function in SAS are used to apply informats and formats (respectively) to data. For both functions, you must know in advance which informat or format you want to apply. For brevity, let's consider only applying a format. To use the PUT function, you must know [...]

Vesper, the maker of piezoelectric sensors used in microphone production and winner of CES Innovation Award 2018 raised a $23M Series B round. American Family Ventures led the investment with participation from Accomplice, Amazon Alexa Fund, Baidu, Bose Ventures, Hyperplane, Sands Capital, Shure, Synaptics, ZZ Capital and some undisclosed investors.

Vesper’s innovative sensors can be used in consumer electronics like TV remote controls, smart speakers, smartphones, intelligent sensor nodes, and hearables. The company will use the funding proceeds to scale-up its functions like mass production of its microphones and support expanded research and development, hiring, and establishing international sales offices.

The main product of Vesper is VM1000, a low noise, high range,single-ended analog output piezoelectric MEMS microphone. It consists of a piezoelectric sensor and circuitry to buffer and amplify the output.

The hot-selling product of Vesper is VM1010 with ZeroPower Listening which is the first MEMS microphone that enables voice activation to battery-powered consumer devices.

The unique selling point of Vesper’s products is they are built to operate in rugged environments that have dust and moisture.

"Vesper's ZeroPower Listening capabilities coupled with its ability to withstand water, dust, oil, and particulate contaminants enables users that have never before been possible," said Katelyn Johnson, principal of American Family Ventures. "We are excited about Vesper's quest to transform our connected world, including IoT devices."

Other recent funding news include $24 raised by sensor-based baby sock maker Owlet, IFTTT banks $24M from Salesforce to scale its IoT Enterprise offering, and Intel sells its Wind River Software to TPG.

We have a big circuit having 12K gates totally and trying to show it in one page slide visually. But it is so hard for us to shrink it down from gate-level to module-level. Do you have any function like these:

Hello, SKILL experts. 

I'm studying SKILL language to build some useful function in APD+.

Now, I want to execute 'Import Sub-drawing' function in new form.

But I cannot find how to do execute APD+ embedded function in a field of new form. 

Has anyone experienced this or idea to solve this problem? 

The course "Jasper Formal Fundamentals v24.03" introduces formal analysis to those who want to use formal analysis for design or verification. 

To optimally benefit from this course, you must already have sufficient knowledge of the System Verilog assertions to be capable of writing properties for formal verification. Hence, this training provides a module on formal analysis to help cover this essential background. 

In this course, you will learn how to code efficient SVA Properties for formal analysis, understand formal complexity and how to overcome it, and learn the basics of formal coverage.

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Define reusable, functionally correct SVA properties that are efficient for formal tools. These shall use abstract auxiliary code to simplify descriptions, make code maintenance easier, reduce debug time, and reduce tool-proof runtime.
• Set up, run, and analyze results from formal analysis.
• Identify designs upon which formal is likely to be successful while understanding formal complexity issues and how to identify and overcome them.
• Use a systematic property development process to approach a completely new verification problem.
• Understand the basics of formal coverage.

 The most recently updated release includes new modules on:

• "Basic complexity handling" which discusses the complexity in formal and how to identify and handle them.
• "Complexity reduction methods” which discusses the complexity reduction methods and which is suitable for which type of complexity problem.
• “Coverage in formal” which discusses the basics of coverage in formal verification and how coverage can be used in formal.   

Take this course to learn the basics of formal verification. 

What's Next? 

You can check out the complete training: Jasper Formal Fundamentals. There is a free online version of the training available 24/7 for all customers with a Cadence Learning and Support Portal account. If you are interested in an instructor-led version of the training, please contact Cadence Training. And don't forget to obtain your digital badge after completing the training!

Is there a way to generate coverage reports, not in ucd or any other format. I have written basic covergroup and passed arguments[-covoverwrite -cov_cgsample -cov_debuglog -coverage u] to the xrun command, however I don't see anything in sim directory, nor do I see anything in the logs indicating the covergroups have been hit. How can I confirm that cover groups are getting hit and essentially observe the bins. In Questa sim, you essentially get them as part of the log itself.

When I try to implement the sweep inside my verilog file, I get the following errors.

Hi,
My Virtuoso and Spectre Version: ICADVM20.1-64b.NYISR30.2
I plot an eye diagram using a built in function. I want to see the data-dependent jitter. I want to measure the eye diagram edges at zero crossing (width of that diamond part) shown in the pic by vertical and horizontal markers. I can put a marker and read the numbers there and get what I want. But now I want to run Monte Carlo and I can't do this for all samples. I wish I could write an expression for this. Unfortunately, I see that the function "cross" is not working on the eye diagram. Basically, when I send the eye diagram data to a table, I see that it actually is just the prbs data and not the eye diagram data. Is there a hack that can help me achieve my goal which is: having an expression to measure the edges of the eye diagram at zero crossing?
There is a script that Andrew wrote (https://support.cadence.com/wps/mypoc/cos?uri=deeplinkmin%3AViewSolution%3BsolutionNumber%3D11395772). This is a good script but it puts all edges on top of each other. I want to distinguish the two edges. In the attached pic (two-period eye diagram) you can see what I mean by the two edges (diamond shapes). I want to measure each of the two and take the maximum. Having all the edges on top of each other won't give me what I want. All edges together will lso include DCD. I purely want to measure DDJ. DCD is measured separately. I have very little experience with writing scripts and could not modify Andrew's script.
Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.

A more appropriate title for this blog could be “All Vehicles with ADAS Need the Midas Functional Safety Platform”.

EVs tend to have advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) because they’re newer, but not all vehicles with ADAS are EVs!

Certifying Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) is a multifaceted process involving rigorous testing, validation, and regulatory compliance to ensure safety and reliability.
As ADAS technologies become increasingly sophisticated, the certification process is evolving to meet these challenges.

The ISO26262 standard provides the requirements to be met to attain safety certification for digital designs.

One of the key aspects of ADAS certification is functional safety. This includes:

• Ensuring the system operates as intended under all conditions, including failures.
• Adherence to standards like ISO26262.
• Rigorous testing to identify potential hazards and mitigate risks.

The Midas Safety Platform provides early-phase exploration of functional safety architectures and leverages native chip design data to perform accurate safety analysis efficiently.

The platform is a unified solution available across Cadence products, and with its modular architecture, it supports both embedded and standalone usage with the Cadence flow.

After extracting the design information, an output Midas database file contains the isolated DUT and provides the design components and their fault tolerances to various tools in the flow.

Conformal can easily verify design transformations that include necessary components like TMR for safety.

In these videos, we explore how to create reports for both Transient and Permanent faults.
