Fully Digital Implemented Delta-Sigma Analog to Digital Converter

This paper shows an approach which only uses 2 resistors and 1 capacitor which are located outside a pure digital chip. So all integration advantages of pure digital chips are preserved, there is no design effort for a new chip generation and the ADC also can be used for FPGAs.

A Platform-Based Technology for Fault-Robust SoC Design

When designing a System-On-Chip (SoC) for safetycritical or high-reliability applications, the design space that a system architect must consider is rather large due to the variety of faults that can affect the SoC, the different failures that these faults can generate and the wide set of techniques that can be used to detect, confine or stop the resulting hazards, each one with its efficiency and cost.

How NXP uses Spirit/ESL-based IP ''Yellow Pages'' to speed System-on-Chip design time

You can either spend a month hand-crafting the last few hundred square microns of silicon out of a system-on-chip (SoC) design or you can put your product on the market one month quicker.
