Forward Body Biasing in Bulk Cryo-CMOS With Negligible Leakage (TU Delft)


A new technical paper titled "Cryogenic-Aware Forward Body Biasing in Bulk CMOS" was published by researchers at QuTech, Tu Delft. Abstract "Cryogenic CMOS (cryo-CMOS) circuits are often hindered by the cryogenic threshold-voltage increase. To mitigate such an increase, a forward body biasing (FBB) technique in bulk CMOS is proposed, which can operate up to the nominal supply without prob... » read more

Densification Of RF Designs


It’s challenging enough to deal with wireless signals at the 5G and 6G frequencies. But with increased density in chips crammed into smaller packages, higher power, beam forming, and MIMO, design requirements are very different than in the past. Simple parasitic extraction no longer is sufficient. Daren McClearnon, product manager for RF and microwave simulation at Keysight, talks about the n... » read more

System-Driven PPA For Multi-Chiplet Designs


As we approach the device scaling limitations at advanced nodes, the demand on compute performance and data transfer for hyperscale data center and AI designs is at an all-time high. Advanced systems-on-chip (SoCs) are reaching reticle size limits, and there has been a need to find innovative solutions to continue Moore’s law scaling and achieve performance improvements with reduced power. St... » read more

Blog Review: Dec. 20


Siemens' Huw Geddes finds that the flexibility offered by the RISC-V ISA can introduce further verification and validation requirements to ensure that the combination of extensions and customization not just works but does not break anything else while delivering expected performance, plus looks at how processor trace can help. Cadence's Gustavo Araujo explains the various optimizations in t... » read more
