ASIC/IC Verification Trends With A Focus On Factors Of Silicon Success
By Harry Foster - 08 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

At long last we come to the final installment of our four-part series presenting the findings of the Wilson Research Group Functional Verification 2020 study. In this article we discuss verification trends in IC/ASIC language and library adoption, low power management, and verification effectiveness. We then take a deeper dive into two somewhat surprising phenomena revealed in the data: the ... » read more

For The Edge, It’s All About Location, Location, Location
By Eddie Ramirez - 08 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

They are centrally located, are connected to power grids and water systems, and are rapidly thinning out. And you can probably get a new cell phone case or a corn dog in the atrium. Could shopping malls become a future home for the edge? Edge computing has transformed over the last few years from being a vaguely defined concept to a fundamental part of the future data infrastructure. Band... » read more

Best 112G SerDes IP Architecture
By Manu Verma - 08 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

Real world operation of a serializer/deserializer (SerDes) in a hyperscale data center is very demanding and requires robust performance in challenging conditions such as multitude of channel insertion loss, extreme temperature cycles, different types of packages with different trace lengths and discontinuities, etc. Hence, meeting interference tolerance (ITOL) and jitter tolerance (JTOL) compl... » read more

Hyperconnectivity’s Impact On Consumers
By Paul McLellan - 08 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

Do you know what hyperconnectivity is? It is already affecting you, whether you know it or not. Hyperscalers are the companies like AWS, Google, and Microsoft that build and run those enormous (aka hyperscale) data centers. If you are a designer and use the cloud, then you have at least a vague idea of what data centers are being used to handle your design. But even if you are the generic perso... » read more

High-Fidelity Optical Edge Case Analyses For Lidar Simulation
By Sean Patterson - 08 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles (AV) rely on heavily on four main sensor modalities for perception: radars, cameras, ultrasonic and, most recently, lidars (light detection and ranging). Lidar is a crucial sensor to the ADAS toolset because it can measure precise three-dimensional images (point clouds) of everything from cars to traffic lights to pedestrians in ... » read more

CXL Signals A New Era Of Data Center Architecture
By Tim Messegee - 08 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

An exponential rise in data volume and traffic across the global internet infrastructure is motivating exploration of new architectures for the data center. Disaggregation and composability would move us beyond the classic architecture of the server as the unit of computing. By separating the functional components of compute, memory, storage and networking into pools, composed on-demand to matc... » read more

Benefits Of SiC For String Inverters
By Suresh Thangavel - 08 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

SiC MOSFETs in solar and energy storage applications have clear benefits compared to silicon technologies, addressing the pressing need for energy and cost savings, particularly when bidirectional power conversion is required. Ease of installation is one of the key features of high-power solar string inverters. It is beneficial if only two workers are needed to carry and install the system.... » read more

Virtual Prototyping In SoC Development
By Christoph Sohrmann - 21 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

Modern semiconductor technologies enable manufacturers to pack more and more functions and memory into a single silicon die. While steadily advancing microintegration based on Moore’s Law just a few years ago mainly focused on increasing the clock frequency of integrated circuits (IC), today, it’s the design complexity and number of blocks that enable new IC functions. More and more logic b... » read more

Beyond The Water Cooler: 2020 Report On IC/ASIC Design And Verification Trends
By Harry Foster - 10 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

Verification and design engineers like to talk shop and discuss their experiences and visions. But even though engineers sharing stories around the water cooler (whatever form that takes—conferences, blogs, etc.) does provide all kinds of valuable insights, it doesn’t provide the full picture into the very large and complicated and extremely dynamic global semiconductor industry. To better ... » read more

Getting Ready For An Efficient Shift To PCI Express 6.0 Designs With Optimized IP
By Gary Ruggles - 10 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

PCI Express (PCIe) 6.0 technology with key changes will bring about challenges that high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, and storage system-on-chip (SoC) designers will face. This article provides designers a summary of the major changes and how they can be handled to ensure a smooth and successful transition to PCIe 6.0. The three major changes in PCIe 6.0 that designers nee... » read more
