ESD Co-Design For High-Speed SerDeS In FinFET Technologies
By Synopsys - 07 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

An electronic device is susceptible to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) damage during its entire life cycle, including the phase from the completion of the silicon wafer processing to when the device (die) is assembled in the system. To avoid yield loss due to ESD damage during this early phase, on-chip ESD protection measures are applied to provide a certain degree of ESD robustness. The componen... » read more

Cold Plate Technology Comparison
By Ansys - 07 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

New types of energy, such as wind and solar power, are being utilized more prevalently and hybrid cars/buses are being identified as a means of reducing carbon dioxide emissions resulting from the use of fossil fuels. Electronic systems like frequency converters for wind power and train utilization are required to provide ever higher levels of energy savings. As such, IGBT (insulated-gate bipol... » read more

Startup Funding: May 2023
By Jesse Allen - 07 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

Photonic interconnects were an area of activity in May, with two companies raising funds for what could be much faster chip-to-chip and chiplet-to-chiplet links. Microstructured optics and metasurfaces also drew investment, with four companies creating products for a range of applications from flexible LEDs to multi-wavelength spectral imaging. The large language models that power many gener... » read more

Arm SystemReady Certification System Requirements Specification v2.1
By Arm - 07 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

Systems that are designed to “just work” for the end user (with the ability to install and run generic off-the-shelf operating systems out-of-the-box) need to follow a set of minimum hardware and firmware requirements to ensure compatibility. For hardware, the Arm SystemReady Program defines a common Base System Architecture (BSA) specification and a set of market-specific supplements. F... » read more

Improving memristors Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) have demonstrated a reliable Interface-type (IT) memristive device (memristor) that shows promise as a technique for building artificial synapses in neuromorphic computing. The team made its memristor — a component that which combines memory and programming functions — using a simple Au/Nb-doped SrTiO3 (Nb:STO) Sc... » read more

DNA-based molecular computing Researchers at the University of Minnesota proposed a new method of biocomputing. Trumpet, or Transcriptional RNA Universal Multi-Purpose GatE PlaTform, uses biological enzymes as catalysts for DNA-based molecular computing. Researchers performed logic gate operations in test tubes using DNA molecules. A positive gate connection resulted in a phosphorescent glo... » read more

Achieving Consistent RTL Power Accuracy
By Synopsys - 23 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

Are you struggling to accurately estimate RTL power consumption early in your design process? RTL power estimation can be inaccurate due to the complexity of the designs, the various power domains, and the use of multiple tools in the design process. Designers can make effective power-performance-area tradeoffs early by using a holistic methodology that includes both architectural and micro-arc... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By SE Staff - 19 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

Design Ansys has signed a definitive agreement to acquire EDA tool company Diakopto. Diakopto specializes in software tools that find the cause of layout parasitics. Its products are ParagonX, for analyzing and debugging IC designs and layout parasitics, and EM/IR analysis/verification tool PrimeX. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2023. SEMI’s FlexTech community issu... » read more
