Will Chiplet Adoption Mimic IP Adoption?

By Alphawave Semi - 29 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

If we look at the semiconductor industry expansion during the last 25 years, adoption of design IP in every application appears to be one of the major factors of success, with silicon technology incredible development by a x100 factor, from 250nm in 2018 to 3nm (if not 2nm) in 2023. We foresee the move to chiplet-based architecture to soon play the same role that SoC chip-based architecture and... » read more

Rigorous Correlation Methodology for PCIe 5.0 & PCIe 6.0 DSP Based IBIS-AMI Models

By Alphawave Semi - 24 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

IBIS-AMI models have been around for a decade and evolved to provide off-chip and system designers an efficient way to assess link performance of high-speed electrical interfaces with transceivers implementing various combination of equalization techniques [1]. As with any model, for IBIS-AMI to be useful they need to be benchmarked and carefully correlated to real-world silicon performance of ... » read more

Stop-For-Top IP Model To Replace One-Stop-Shop By 2025… And Support The Creation Of Successful Chiplet Business

By Alphawave Semi - 23 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

The One-Stop-Shop model has allowed IP vendors of the 2000’s to create a successful IP business, mostly driven by consumer application, smartphone or Set-Top-Box. The industry has dramatically changed, and in 2020 is now driven by data-centric application (datacenter, AI, networking, HPC…), requiring best-in-class, high-performance IP developed on bleeding edge technology nodes. That’s wh... » read more
