PCIe 7.0 Takes Center Stage At PCI-SIG DevCon ’24
By Gautam S. - 13 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

From the simplest building blocks like GPIOs to the most advanced high-speed interfaces, IP subsystems are the lifeblood of the chipmaking ecosystem. A key enabler for IP has been the collaboration between industry and academia in the creation of standards and protocols for interfaces. PCI-SIG drives some of the key definitions and compliance specifications and ensures the interoperability of i... » read more

When To Expect Domain-Specific AI Chips
By Brian Bailey - 13 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

The chip industry is moving toward domain-specific computation, while artificial intelligence (AI) is moving in the opposite direction, creating a gap that could force significant changes in how chips and systems are architected in the future. Behind this split is the amount of time it takes to design hardware and software. In the 18 months since ChatGPT was launched on the world, there has ... » read more

A High-Capacity Solution for Power and Signal Integrity on 2.5D Silicon Interposers
By Ansys - 12 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

The present trends in technology — such as increasing demand for computational power from CPUs and GPUs, connectivity driven by Internet of Things (IoT), data demands around connected and self-driving cars, and the design of processors optimized for artificial intelligence (AI) — require more functionality from integrated circuits. As designers struggle to find ways to scale with complexity... » read more

How Does Reclaiming Data Center Lost Capacity Result in Return on Investment?
By Cadence - 12 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

As the importance of data center performance, efficiency, and sustainability grows, owners and operators must move beyond “quick fixes” when managing their data center and IT deployments. These temporary solutions are neither effective nor sustainable. Long-term solutions and effective management over time are required to achieve meaningful efficiency gains. Capacity planning is one such di... » read more

Testing PCI Express 5.0 PHY Transmitter Performance Without Analysis Software
By Synopsys - 12 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

PCI Express (PCIe) 5.0 silicon characterization across process, voltage, and temperature variations, is necessary for accelerating SoC designs. To measure key qualifying parameters, designers and test engineers must have a good understanding of the PCIe 5.0 base electrical specification and know the physical layer’s design architecture and features for accurate characterization of 32GT/s PHY ... » read more

Margin Sensors In The Wild
By Barry Pangrle - 10 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

Back in March, I wrote up an article here that looked at how a proxy circuit could be used to measure variations in circuit performance as conditions changed in the operating environment. There were a couple of recent presentations on margin sensors at two of the big EDA vendors' customer engineering forums that we’ll look at as well as another product with an upcoming presentation at DAC. Ma... » read more

Research Bits: June 4

Ultra-pure silicon Researchers from the University of Manchester and University of Melbourne developed a technique to engineer ultra-pure silicon that could be used in the construction of high-performance qubit devices that extend quantum coherence times. The highly purified silicon chips house and protect the qubits so they can sustain quantum coherence much longer, enabling complex calcul... » read more

Physics-Aware AI Is The Key To Next Gen IC Design
By Marc Swinnen - 03 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

Chip design projects are notorious for generating huge amounts of design data. The design process calls for a dozen or more electronic design automation (EDA) software tools to be run in sequence. Together, they write out hundreds of gigabytes of intermediate data on the way to creating a final layout for manufacturing. Traditionally, this has been seen as a problem. But this richness of data i... » read more

Nanofluidic memristive neural networks Engineers from EPFL developed a functional nanofluidic memristive device that relies on ions, rather than electrons and holes, to compute and store data. “Memristors have already been used to build electronic neural networks, but our goal is to build a nanofluidic neural network that takes advantage of changes in ion concentrations, similar to living... » read more

Research Bits: May 21

Lithium tantalate PICs Researchers at EPFL and Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology developed scalable photonic integrated circuits (PICs) based on lithium tantalate (LiTaO3). Lithium tantalate can provide excellent electro-optic qualities and is used in telecom 5G RF filters. The team developed a wafer-bonding method for lithium tantalate, which is compatible with s... » read more
