关于客户
Newport Media 是一家位于南加州的无晶圆厂半导体公司。该公司成立于 2005 年,旨在为新兴数字音频和移动电视应用提供高度集成的接收器解决方案。该公司的开发团队专注于开发具有前所未有的性能、功耗、尺寸和成本效益的广播多媒体架构和集成电路(IC)实现。 Newport Media 的首要产品线 Sundance 系列是一个多标准平台,旨在支持各种新兴移动电视标准,包括 DVB-H、DMB、ISDB-T 和 FLO。单芯片射频 (RF) 调谐器提供先进的用户功能集以及一流的射频噪声系数和解调器多普勒性能。
挑战
Newport Media 是一家无晶圆厂半导体公司,面临着提供具有前所未有的性能、功耗、尺寸和成本效益的高度集成接收器解决方案的挑战。该公司的开发团队的任务是为具有外部总线接口的新版本设计开发验证环境。正在验证的模块具有 40K 逻辑门,包括 AHB 主/从接口、外部微处理器接口和直接存储器访问 (DMA) 引擎。该团队需要在 AHB 主/从设计周期的早期暴露难以发现的错误,以验证协议合规性并编写更广泛的测试来发现和探索极端情况。
解决方案
为了应对这些挑战,Newport Media 选择采用 Cadence Incisive Formal Verifier 解决方案和 Cadence Incisive 基于断言的验证 IP (VIP)。该团队利用了 Cadence AHB 基于断言的 VIP 产品,这是一个即插即用的验证环境,可简化 ARM AMBA AHB 协议的验证。 Incisive VIP提供静态分析和协议合规性检查,为团队提供了一条重要的捷径。 Newport Media 还采用了 Incisive Formal Verifier,使工程师能够在设计的同时开始模块验证,从而减少重新设计并降低风险。该工具在大约一个小时内准确地查明了设计错误,在测试平台开发和模拟开始之前几个月就检测到了功能错误。

Hydro One Leads the Way In Smart Meter Development
In 2010, Ontario’s energy board mandated that time-of-use (TOU) pricing for consumers be available for all consumers on a regulated price plan. To meet this requirement, Hydro One needed to quickly deploy a smart meter and intelligent communications network solution to meet the provincial government’s requirement at a low cost. The network needed to cover Hydro One’s expansive service territory, which has a land mass twice the size of Texas, and its customers live in a mix of urban, rural, and remote areas, some places only accessible by air, rail, boat or snowmobile. Most importantly, the network needed to enable future enterprise-wide business efficiencies, modernization of distribution infrastructure and enhanced customer service. To meet these needs, Hydro One conceptualized an end-to-end solution leveraging open standards and Internet Protocols (IP) at all communication levels. The utility drew upon industry leaders like Trilliant to realize this vision.

Selling more with Whirlpool
Whirlpool wanted to add connectivity to appliances and transform the company's relationship with customers. Traditionally, Whirlpool interaction with customers was limited to purchases made once every ten years. Connected washer and dryers provide exciting new features like remote management of start times and inter-machine communication.

SAS® Analytics for IoT: Smart Grid
Companies face falling revenues, rising infrastructure costs, and increasing risk of outages caused by inconsistent energy production from renewable sources. Less money is coming in as more people and organizations take steps to curb their energy use. Utilities are paying more to maintain and build infrastructure due to increasing complexity, resulting from the rising number of intermittent and variable renewable energy sources connected in the distribution grid.

Enel Secures Italian Power Generation Network
Electric energy operators around the world are working to increase the reliability and cyber resiliency of their systems. This includes Enel, a global power company that manages and monitors the Italian power grid. This grid:• Serves 31 million customers• Has a net installed energy capacity exceeding 31 gigawatts• Includes more than 500 power generation plants,including hydroelectric, thermoelectric, and wind• Is managed and monitored by Enel 24/7/365• Is operated by Terna, the Italian Transmission System Operator (TSO)Enel is responsible for the availability of the grid’s underlying ICS and industrial network. It also manages Regional Control Centers and Interconnection Centers which connect with the TSO. The TSO manages the flow of energy to the grid plus controls and remotely regulates the power generation of power plants, increasing and decreasing power production as required. The complex system of interaction and cooperation between Enel and the TSO has strong security implications as well as operational and business challenges.

Vodafone Hosted On AWS
Vodafone found that traffic for the applications peak during the four-month period when the international cricket season is at its height in Australia. During the 2011/2012 cricket season, 700,000 consumers downloaded the Cricket Live Australia application. Vodafone needed to be able to meet customer demand, but didn’t want to invest in additional resources that would be underutilized during cricket’s off-season.
