Today, the EDA industry is emphasizing what is generally known as “Shift Left”. In simple words, this means trying to catch bugs earlier in a chip development cycle. The main reason for this is that the quicker you catch a bug in an ASIC ‘s life cycle, the lesser it costs. With increasing chip complexity, this can save a lot of money, time and effort. Many EDA companies are therefore working on enhancing old tools and building new ones to achieve this. While other approaches will help, the quantum leap in catching bugs faster will be faster and better VIP development. Read on to find how such a "VIP factory" is being developed by Arrow Devices...
