Robust Design Optimization Of A Ford Turbocharger Compressor
By Anne-Marie Schelkens - 02 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

What is robust design optimization (RDO), and is it better than standard optimization? In this customer case, we describe a multi-disciplinary optimization of a turbocharger compressor from Ford Motor Company, in which we demonstrate it is. RDO combines standard numerical optimization with sensitivity analysis to take into account the influence of manufacturing variations and operating uncer... » read more

Designing for Data Flow
By Marie C. Baca - 02 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Movement and management of data inside and outside of chips is becoming a central theme for a growing number of electronic systems, and a huge challenge for all of them. Entirely new architectures and techniques are being developed to reduce the movement of data and to accomplish more per compute cycle, and to speed the transfer of data between various components on a chip and between chips ... » read more

Design Challenges And Opportunities For Electric Powertrain With Vehicle Autonomy
By Siemens EDA - 01 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

According to recent studies, nearly 25% of all miles driven in the United States could be shared autonomous electrical vehicles (SAEVs) by 2030. Electric powertrain is indispensable for autonomous vehicles as it offers a) higher fuel efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions, b) an easier platform to support drive-by-wire systems needed for vehicle autonomy, and c) as battery prices keep dropping sh... » read more

Blog Review: March 1
By Jesse Allen - 01 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Siemens EDA's Chris Spear explains the UVM Factory and how it can facilitate collaboration by enabling injection of new features without affecting your team. Cadence's Paul McLellan looks at efforts to ensure chiplets from different companies work together, particularly when the creating companies didn't pre-plan for those specific chiplets to work together, as well as the problems of failur... » read more

Re-shoring And Rebuilding The IC Supply Chain
By Ed Sperling - 01 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Raj Jammy, chief technologist at MITRE Engenuity and executive director of the Semiconductor Alliance, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about changes in the supply chain, where and how to leverage different capabilities, and why advanced packaging and manufacturing are so critical to economic security. SE: The global supply chain for semiconductors appears to be splintering. W... » read more

How To Build A Rock-Solid Software Security Initiative
By Synopsys - 01 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Application security testing is the starting block, not the finish line. While a critical component of every security program, the “penetrate and patch” approach is not a strategy. You need a complete program to lower risk exposure, measure progress, and demonstrate results. The most effective AppSec programs—or software security initiatives—are fine-tuned to their respective organiz... » read more

High SNR Microphones Are Transforming Laptops Into All-Round Communication Hubs
By Infineon - 01 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Large portions of the workforce continue to work from home or in hybrid models. Although some organizations are largely getting back to ‘normal’, many people have grown accustomed to meeting online. Without face-to-face meetings in the office, productive and efficient communication relies on good tools, from video conferencing software to computer hardware. Two decades ag... » read more

U.S. Opens Funding Applications Under CHIPS Act
By Linda Christensen - 28 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

The 2022 Chips and Science Act provided $39 billion in federal funding to revitalize the U.S. semiconductor industry. Now, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the oversight branch for the CHIPS Act, has taken the first step in opening up applications for this funding. This initial funding opportunity focuses on applications specifically for projects to “construct, expand, or modernize commerc... » read more
