Managing the Economic Storm |
 |
The world economic crisis has affected us in different ways, but the common theme in our industry is the sustained interest in rethinking the way that we maintain complex systems.
Condition-based maintenance (CBM) is a proven method of scheduling maintenance or repair on an “as-needed” basis, rather than scheduling maintenance determined by elapsed hours of
operation.

PDKChek® Die-Level Process Monitor Saves
Time & Money |
| Last November, Ridgetop addressed an international IP exchange conference on the merits of its patented PDKChek® die-level process monitor.
With IC technology rapidly embracing deep submicron topologies, it is extremely difficult to bring a new design to market quickly without the ability to verify process specifications and understand the real impact of process variations on circuit performance.
