What Does 2023 Have In Store For Chip Design?
By Brian Bailey - 26 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Predictions seem to be easier to make during times of stability, but they are no more correct than at any other period. During more turbulent times, fewer people are courageous enough to allow their opinions to be heard. And yet it is often those views that are more well thought through, and even if they turn out not to be true, they often contain some very enlightening ideas. 2022 saw some ... » read more

The New Convergence: IoT, AI, And 5G Bring Actionable Intelligence To The Factory Floor
By Sailesh Chittipeddi - 26 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Last year, I reflected on the Renesas Renaissance in terms of how our long-term growth strategy is positioning the company as a full-spectrum, global technology solutions provider with an extended physical footprint in the U.S., Europe, and China. Thanks to the acquisitions of Intersil, IDT, Dialog Semiconductor, and Celeno we now have expansive design capabilities that surround our embedded... » read more

Fixed-Point And Floating-Point FMCW Radar Signal Processing With Tensilica DSPs
By Cadence - 25 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Automotive Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) applications are increasingly demanding radar modules with better capability and performance. These applications require sophisticated radar processing algorithms and powerful Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) to run them. Because these embedded systems have limited power and cost budgets, the DSP’s Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) needs t... » read more

EMC Pre-Compliance Fundamentals
By Keysight - 25 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Once you’ve designed your electronic product, it’s time to release it to market, right? Well, not exactly. As with any product development, you need to first test the device you’re designing to validate that it behaves as expected. One such important test that all electronic devices must eventually pass are EMI (electromagnetic interference) compliance tests. Passing EMI tests d... » read more

Achieve 10X Faster CDC Debug Leveraging Machine Learning
By Synopsys - 25 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Over the years, system-on-chip (SoC) design sizes have crossed the billion-gate mark. Higher complexity has been introduced within semiconductor designs to deliver desired functionality. The number of asynchronous clock and reset domains is growing heavily within these complex SoCs, leading to millions of clock domain crossing (CDC) violations at the SoC level. Each of these violations ... » read more

Blog Review: Jan. 25
By Jesse Allen - 25 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Cadence's Shyam Sharma shares some important design and verification considerations when working with DDR5 SDRAM and DDR5 DIMM-based memory subsystems, including reset and power on initialization, speed bin compliance, and refresh, RFM, and temperature requirements. Siemens EDA's Harry Foster examines trends in adoption of languages and libraries for IC and ASIC design, testbench creation, a... » read more

EDA, IP Growth Surges Again
By Ed Sperling - 24 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

EDA tools and IP revenue increased 8.9% in Q3 of 2022 to $3.767 billion, up from $3.458 billion in 2021, according to a just-released report from the ESD Alliance at SEMI. All regions except Japan reported growth, but the numbers were a bit more uneven in Q3 than in recent quarters. For example, total silicon IP dropped 1%, while services revenue grew 20.8%. At the same time, EDA revenue jum... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 20 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Worldwide semiconductor revenue increased 1.1% in 2022 to $601.7 billion, up from $595 billion in 2021, according to preliminary results from Gartner. The combined revenue of the top 25 semiconductor vendors increased 2.8% in 2022 and accounted for 77.5% of the market. The memory segment posted a 10% revenue decrease. Analog showed the strongest growth, up 19% from 2021, followed by discretes, ... » read more

Blog Review: Jan. 18
By Jesse Allen - 18 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Synopsys' Dana Neustadter, Sara Zafar Jafarzadeh, and Ruud Derwig argue that we are already at an inflection point for post-quantum security because devices and infrastructure systems with longer life cycles or communicating data that must be kept confidential for an extended period need to have a path towards quantum-safe solutions. Siemens EDA's Harry Foster looks at trends in adoption of ... » read more

Selecting The Right RISC-V Core
By Brian Bailey - 16 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

With an increasing number of companies interested in devices based on the RISC-V ISA, and a growing number of cores, accelerators, and infrastructure components being made available, either commercially or in open-source form, end users face an increasingly difficult challenge of ensuring they make the best choices. Each user likely will have a set of needs and concerns that almost equals th... » read more
