AI PCB Design: How Generative AI Takes Us From Constraints To Possibilities


Generative artificial intelligence (AI) represents the next great step forward in PCB design. This is, of course, what you might expect me to say. 2023 has been a year dominated by the rise of generative AI, with large language models (LLMs) as the unquestionable poster child. It’s easy to see why; LLMs seemingly fulfill the promise of sentience, while in reality, they’re simply very goo... » read more

A Perfect Blend Of Quality In Functional Safety To Accelerate An Automotive IP Product Release


The integration of functional safety and quality into the automotive development process is crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of vehicles on the road.
