Bringing RFIC Design And Verification Into The Modern Era
By Jian Yang - 09 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

For decades, developers of radio frequency (RF) chips and other analog/mixed-signal (AMS) integrated circuits (ICs) have used traditional techniques for design and verification. Most RFIC designers have continued to hand-craft active and passive devices, manually place and route their circuits, and rely on the bring-up lab to validate their pre-silicon SPICE simulations. It is often said that a... » read more

Khronos: Open Standards Powering The Future Of Embedded Vision
By Paul McLellan - 09 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

At the recent Embedded Vision Summit, one of the presentations was by Neil Trevett of The Khronos Group. This is a standardization body and is a non-profit. He said that his day job is at Nvidia. It has been creating standards for 20 years with a focus on low-level hardware acceleration APIs for 3D graphics, parallel computation, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and machine learnin... » read more

Multiphysics Signoff Solvers At DAC 2022
By Marion Blanc - 09 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

It seems like just yesterday when engineers were trying to fit all the functionality they could onto a monolithic 2D integrated circuit to maximize computing performance. Moore’s Law was going strong and standard chips were what everybody used. The Design Automation Conference (DAC) 2022, scheduled for July 10 to 14 in San Francisco, will show just how far we’ve come from those days. We�... » read more

Co-Packaged Optics In The Data Center
By Ed Sperling - 08 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Just because faster Ethernet is added to the data center doesn’t mean existing hardware can utilize it efficiently. Scott Durrant, strategic marketing manager at Synopsys, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about the rapid rollout of faster Ethernet rates, problems in moving data to the front module of the switch and how much energy is required, and what optical technology can bring to the ... » read more

How New Storage Technologies Enhance HPC Systems
By Synopsys - 08 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

High-performance computing (HPC) has historically been available primarily to governments, research institutions, and a few very large corporations for modeling, simulation, and forecasting applications. As HPC platforms are being deployed in the cloud for shared services, high-performance computing is becoming much more accessible, and its use is benefiting organizations of all sizes. Increasi... » read more

Machine Learning-Based Optimization Of Chiral Photonic Nanostructures: Evolution- And Neural Network-Based Design
By Fraunhofer IIS/EAS - 08 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Chiral photonics opens new pathways to manipulate light-matter interactions and tailor the optical response of metasurfaces and -materials by nanostructuring nontrivial patterns. Chirality of matter, such as that of molecules, and light, which in the simplest case is given by the handedness of circular polarization, have attracted much attention for applications in chemistry, nanophotonics and ... » read more

Are Tiny MicroLEDs The Next Big Thing For Displays?
By Carolyn Short - 08 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 1

One of the latest emerging trends is a renewed focus on microLED technology. What is a microLED, and why is the industry focusing on this technology? As the name suggests, a microLED, or µLED, is a light-emitting diode (LED) – roughly 100 times smaller than conventional LEDs. MicroLEDs can be arranged into arrays to make high-resolution displays for applications ranging from smartwatches... » read more

Realizing Your Product Potential Through Pervasive Simulation And Advanced Manufacturing Processes
By Ansys - 08 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Global demand for resources has inevitably led to scarcity. The use of resources also generates significant levels of pollution and waste that are difficult to manage. With an ever-growing focus on sustainability, efficiency, and cost savings, the economy is changing. Consumers are demanding products that are made responsibly and optimized for energy efficiency. Many businesses are looking for ... » read more

Research Bits: June 8
By Jesse Allen - 08 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Five-second coherence for silicon carbide qubits Researchers from the University of Chicago, National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology, and Linköping University built a qubit from silicon carbide and was able to retain its coherence, or the length of time the quantum state persists, for over five seconds. “It’s uncommon to have quantum information preserved on these human ... » read more
