Considerations to Successfully Integrate Chiplets in Designs
By Keysight - 29 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

Chiplet integration is a promising approach to creating heterogeneous and complex system-on-chips (SoCs) with significant performance, power, scalability, flexibility, and cost benefits. However, chiplet integration also poses substantial design, verification, testing, and packaging challenges, requiring new standards and design methodologies. Electronic design automation (EDA) software and sim... » read more

Integrated, Turnkey Droop Response System: Heterogeneous IP Use Case
By Movellus - 29 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

Whether you serve the ADAS, PC, or networking market, chances are that your SoC is heterogeneous; containing general processors and application-specific accelerators. Your solution might have a systolic array for convolutions, a cluster of CPUs for application code, or a look-aside crypto engine for packet security. While application-specific accelerators significantly improve performance and p... » read more

Electromigration And IR Drop At Advanced Nodes
By Ed Sperling - 22 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

Manufacturing chips at 3nm and below is a challenge, but it's only part of the problem. Designing chips that can be manufactured and will actually work is potentially an even bigger problem. There is more data to sift through for place-and-route, less margin to pad a design, and there are more physical effects to contend with as transistors get taller, density increases, and chips age. Jeff Wil... » read more

Communication Is Key To Finding And Fixing Bugs In ICs
By Ann Mutschler and Adam Kovac - 08 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts at the Table: Finding and eliminating bugs at the source can be painstaking work, but it also can prevent even greater problems from developing later on. To examine the best ways to tackle this problem, Semiconductor Engineering sat down with Ashish Darbari, CEO at Axiomise; Ziyad Hanna, corporate vice president R&D at Cadence; Jim Henson, ASIC verification software product manager ... » read more

Can Models Created With AI Be Trusted?
By Brian Bailey - 06 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

EDA models that are created using AI need to pass more stringent quality and cost benefit analysis compared to many AI applications in the broader industry. Money is hanging on the line if AI gets it wrong, and all the associated costs must be factored into the equation. Models are some of the most expensive things a development team can create, and it is important to understand the value th... » read more
