At the beginning of the design phase, it is important to enumerate the exact customer requirements that your design must satisfy. The Product Design Specification tool, or PDS, is a tool that is ...

The American Wood Council recently released a new publication for fire design of wood members, assemblies, and connections to meet code requirements. Since 2001, the National Design Specification for ...

The iterations a specification goes through in a given project. Are chip design and verification specs, and hardware and software specs, separate entities? Automation of the specification process.

Do you need a design or functional specification? It depends on who your audience is and where you are in the product development cycle. People often confuse the purpose and role of functional ...

Chip design is getting more and more challenging in terms of power, performance, area and IP integration. At the same time, competition and time-to-market are forcing much tighter schedules. The ...

What is an executable spec? In the context of an IP and/or SoC design and development, a specification consists of a complete description of the concerned IP/SoC or any subsystem. It consists of ...

This paper presents an approach to power design specification intent and associated enabled design methodologies that allow a scalable implementation of voltage islands. From a single holistic power ...

A technical paper titled “AssertLLM: Generating and Evaluating Hardware Verification Assertions from Design Specifications via Multi-LLMs” was published by researchers at Hong Kong University of ...

People often confuse the purpose and role of functional specifications and design documents. Design and function should never meet in a document. Design and function must be documented during the ...
