Mentor Graphics Webinar: Solve DDR Memory Challenges with PADS Advanced Simulation

Reading time ( words)

To deploy features commonly found in modern electronic products, such as high-fidelity audio, rich graphics, high-resolution displays, and wireless interfaces, designers must work with processors and FPGAs that use high-speed, high-bandwidth DDR memory.

But working with DDR interfaces poses unique design challenges. How do you know what component placement and routing are best or what constraints are needed to ensure your end products will work? This 15-minute on-demand PADS webinar explores the DDR memory interface and shows how an easy-to-use wizard can help you manage DDR issues during design.

Data is omnipresent. At times it goes unnoticed, just waiting there for someone to collect, analyze, and make use of it to create value. Data that seemed irrelevant at the time might come in handy when you need to come up with a solution to a new challenge. When, for instance, you need a reliable quote that can accurately predict a product’s price, you need to base it on past actual operation machine time, raw materials cost, etc. Otherwise, guessing a new product’s price might result in unexpected spending, especially when it concerns sophisticated systems.
