Why SoC Designers Need Purpose-Built Semiconductor IP Catalog Tools
By Roberto Piacentini Filho - 25 Jul, 2024 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor intellectual property (IP) management, reuse, and change tracking are essential for efficiently creating chip designs based on proven building blocks, reducing your time-to-market, and maintaining good reputations throughout their lifetimes. Unfortunately, many SoC teams attempt to use existing tools like Git for these essential tasks, even though they are unsuitable and inconv... » read more

The Fundamentals Of Software Testing
By Jonathon Wright - 27 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

Recently, I had a conversation with Paul Gerrard, the internationally renowned, award-winning software engineering consultant, author, and coach. We discussed the fact that testing is at the heart of software development. Obviously, as testers, we spend all day testing and thinking about testing. But developers test every line of code they write. Sometimes, users test. In fact, the all-perva... » read more

Data Acquisition Software: The Brains Behind The Hardware
By Bernard Ang - 28 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

We have previously talked about how data acquisition systems streamline the testing of various test scenarios. However, the data acquisition (DAQ) hardware is just one-half of the equation. To make the hardware useful for various test scenarios, you need suitable data acquisition software and firmware that can take advantage of that powerful hardware and bridge the gap between your needs and... » read more

What’s Next For Power Electronics? Beyond Silicon
By Emily Yan - 29 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

For more than half a century, silicon has been the bedrock of power electronics. Yet as silicon meets its physical limitations in higher-power, higher-temperature applications, the industry’s relentless pursuit of more efficient power systems has ushered in the wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors era. The global WBG semiconductors market reached $1.6 billion in 2022, with an estimated CAGR of ... » read more

Nascent Chiplet Tech Gaining Attention In Defense and Commercial Industries
By Ben Miller - 30 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

The economic benefits derived from Moore's Law have changed, and not for the better. This shift – especially on the manufacturing side of system-on-chip (SoC) devices, has both the defense and commercial customers in the semiconductor industry wondering what will come next. One way to extend Moore's Law's cost, feature, and size benefits is with multi-chip technology, now commonly known as... » read more

Powering Up Electric Heavy-Duty Vehicles
By Hwee Yng Yeo - 26 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

Smokey tailpipe emissions may soon be a thing of the past, as the heavy transport vehicle market catches up with the electric car market to lower their contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Private sedans and light-duty trucks lead the vehicle electrification race, leaving much upside opportunity for heavy transport fleets such as trucks and buses to catch up. In the United Stat... » read more
