More Data, More Redundant Interconnects


The proliferation of AI dramatically increases the amount of data that needs to be processed, stored, and moved, accelerating the aging of signal paths through which that data travels and forcing chipmakers to build more redundancy into the interconnects. In the past, nearly all redundant data paths were contained within a planar chip using a relatively thick silicon substrate. But as chipma... » read more

Speeding Up Die-To-Die Interconnectivity


Disaggregating SoCs, coupled with the need to process more data faster, is forcing engineering teams to rethink the electronic plumbing in a system. Wires don't shrink, and just cramming more wires or thicker wires into a package are not viable solutions. Kevin Donnelly, vice president of strategic marketing at Eliyan, talks about how to speed up data movement between chiplets with bi-direction... » read more

Blog Review: May 14


Siemens’ Stephen V. Chavez finds that proper PCB high voltage spacing between conductive elements is key to reliability and understanding the principles of clearance (through-air spacing) and creepage (along-surface spacing) is critical. Cadence’s Frank Ferro checks out how the new HBM4 standard boosts bandwidth and addresses key issues in the data center, including the growing size of L... » read more
