Co-Packaged Optics Reaches Power Efficiency Tipping Point
By Laura Peters - 02 Jun, 2025 - Comments: 0

Commercialization has started for network switches based on co-packaged optics (CPO), which are capable of routing signals at terabits per second speeds, but manufacturing challenges remain regarding fiber-to-photonic IC alignment, thermal mitigation, and optical testing strategies. By moving the optical-to-electronic data conversion as close as possible to the GPU/ASIC switch in data center... » read more

Chip Industry Week in Review
By The SE Staff - 30 May, 2025 - Comments: 0

The U.S. Commerce Department is tightening controls on EDA software sold to China by imposing additional license requirements. EDA companies are assessing the impact. Details on how broad the restrictions will be are still pending. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will require Synopsys and Ansys to divest key software assets — including optical, photonic, and RTL power analysis tool... » read more

The DAC Valuation
By Brian Bailey - 29 May, 2025 - Comments: 1

The Design Automation Conference is approaching fast, and the evidence of a funding gap is in plain sight. An entire day of the technical conference has been dropped. This is disheartening to say the least, and in the long term it may be a very costly mistake. The problems started when the Internet bubble burst in 2000. Until then, DAC was growing to the point whereby few convention halls we... » read more
