Thermal Analysis Of 3D Stacking And BEOL Technologies
By Mohamed Naeim - 10 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

Thermal challenges in 3D-IC designs can cause a significant risk in meeting performance specifications. While the pace of Moore’s Law has slowed in recent years, system technology co-optimization (STCO) promises to mitigate technology scaling bottlenecks with system architecture tuning based on emerging technology offerings, including 3D technology. AI-driven inference accelerators continu... » read more

Electronics Reliability In Space: Simulating Rad Hard Designs
By Aliyah Mallak - 10 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

Space is a harsh environment. There’s no breathable air, radiation levels are 15 times higher than on Earth, and the approximate temperature is 2.7 Kelvin (minus 270.45 degrees Celsius or minus 454.81 degrees Fahrenheit). Thankfully, Earth’s atmosphere does a great job protecting us from space’s intense climate. But because there is no atmosphere in space, there’s nothing to protect sat... » read more

Easier Assertion Development And Debug With Simulation Replay
By Vin Liao - 13 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

By Vin Liao and Robert Ruiz Assertions and assertion IP (AIP) are a core part of the register transfer level (RTL) verification environment for all modern chip development projects. Assertions can be considered as statements of design intent, specifying how the design should behave—and not behave—under specified conditions. They range from simple statements, for example, that a multi-bit... » read more

Enabling Next-Generation Automotive Zonal Architecture With MIPI
By Raj Uppala - 13 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

The evolution of automotive architecture has followed three key stages: distributed architecture, domain-centralized architecture, and emerging zonal architecture. Each stage reflects advancements in functionality, complexity, and efficiency. Distributed architecture, prevalent in early vehicles, relied on numerous function-specific Electronic Control Units (ECUs). While effective for modularit... » read more

Fulfilling 3D-IC Trade-Off Analyses (And Benefits) With An AI Assist
By Pratyush Kamal - 13 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

As we walk around with supercomputers in our pockets and work at desks on even more powerful supercomputers, a lot of processing has moved to the cloud. As a politician described, this can be problematic on a day when there are no clouds in the sky. The world discovered the truth of those words when Crowdstrike struck on July 19, 2024. System designers who spent years balancing power, performan... » read more

Static Timing Analysis: Cell Delay Vs. Cell Drive Strength
By Pamula Sai Srinivas - 13 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

Have you ever wondered how a predator succeeds or its prey escapes in the jungle? It’s the breathtaking speed and agility of the predator (say, a leopard) as it chases prey (say, a deer). The VLSI circuit operation is very similar. If the driving cell is strong, it takes less delay and changes the output quicker than a weaker driver, which produces a sluggish response and takes longer t... » read more

The Importance Of Safety Analysis In Automotive Systems Engineering
By Ka-lip Chu - 13 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

Over the years, automotive safety has maintained a top spot in the minds of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Self-driving vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and AI-driven innovations designed to further protect us on the road are rapidly evolving. It’s been an exciting journey but not without some hiccups for automotive manufacturers along the way. For instance, a... » read more

Physics Simulation With Graph Neural Networks Targeting Mobile
By Máté Stodulka - 13 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

By Máté Stodulka and Tomas Zilhao Borges The demand for immersive, realistic graphics in mobile gaming and AR or VR is pushing the limits of mobile hardware. Achieving lifelike simulations of fluids, cloth, and other materials historically requires intensive mathematical computations. While these traditional methods yield highly accurate results, they have been too resource-heavy to run re... » read more

No Fooling With Voxel Pooling
By Steve Roddy - 13 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

A variety of new and complicated transformer models have emerged in the past 18 to 24 months as new “must have” networks in advanced automotive use cases. These novel architectures often introduce new network operators or novel ways of combining tensors – often from different types of sensors – in ways to enhance detection and recognition of objects in L3 / L4 / L5 ADAS and autonomous d... » read more

Controlling Leakage Power
By Matthew Hogan - 17 Feb, 2025 - Comments: 0

IC designers face a significant challenge in managing leakage power - a phenomenon that can profoundly impact your device's power, performance, area (PPA), and overall reliability. Leakage can occur in various ways, from parasitic leakage to analog gate leakage or digital gate leakage, and you must address these issues with great care, as even subtle circuit changes can lead to reliability prob... » read more
