Designing For Multiple Die
By Ann Mutschler - 21 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 1

Integrating multiple die or chiplets into a package is proving to be very different than putting them on the same die, where everything is developed at the same node using the same foundry process. As designs become more heterogeneous and disaggregated, they need to be modeled, properly floor-planned, verified, and debugged in the context of a system, rather than as individual components. Typi... » read more

Ensuring ESD Protection Verification With Industry-Standard Checks
By Mark Tawfik - 21 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

Electronic design automation (EDA) verification of electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is a complex task. Different integrated circuit (IC) design companies use different ESD protection approaches, different design flows, and different verification tools. To establish a consistent and comprehensive ESD EDA verification flow, the ESD Association (ESDA) provides recommended ESD compliance ch... » read more

RISC-V Pushes Into The Mainstream
By Ed Sperling - 21 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 1

RISC-V cores are beginning to show up in heterogeneous SoCs and packages, shifting from one-off standalone designs toward mainstream applications where they are used for everything from accelerators and extra processing cores to security applications. These changes are subtle but significant. They point to a growing acceptance that chips or chiplets based on an open-source instruction set ar... » read more

Adapting To Broad Shifts Essential In 2022
By Brian Bailey - 21 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

Change creates opportunity, but not every company is able to respond quickly enough to take advantage of those opportunities. Others may respond too quickly, before they properly understand the implications. At the start of a typical year, optimism is in plentiful supply. Any positive trend is seen as continuing, and any negative is seen as turning around. Normally the later in the year that... » read more

How The Electronics Industry Can Shape A More Sustainable, Energy-Efficient World
By Piyush Sancheti - 21 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

By Piyush Sancheti and Godwin Maben We’re already experiencing the effects of our world’s changing climate—devastating wildfires, prolonged droughts, torrential flooding, just to name a few examples. Global energy consumption is increasing, raising carbon dioxide levels and triggering extreme weather conditions. Two key forces driving these trends are the shift to hyperscale datacenter... » read more

Extending RISC-V Processors In The Field With Codasip Studio & Menta eFPGA
By Codasip - 21 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

RISC-V is an open specification that allows an infinite number of implementations. But RISC-V goes beyond that and encourages processor architects to add new instructions to accelerate certain algorithms or application domains, for example DSP, AI/ML, and others, while keeping the base instruction set stable. The new instructions may help with the performance, code size, power consumption, or d... » read more

Speed Up Early Design Rule Exploration And Physical Verification
By Siemens EDA - 21 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

Ensuring that early-stage IC design physical verification actually enhances IC design and verification productivity means giving engineers the ability to focus on those errors that are both valid and critical in early-stage designs. The Calibre nmDRC Recon functionality provides selective DRC of early-stage designs that focuses on real, relevant errors, ignoring rule checks that generate meanin... » read more

IEDM Keynote: Ann Kelleher On Future Technology
By Paul McLellan - 21 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

IEDM 2022 celebrated 75 Years of the Transistor. I can't imagine anything else invented in the last 75 years has had as much effect on my life, and probably yours, too. After the awards session, the conference got underway with a keynote by Ann Kelleher, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Technology Development at Intel. It was titled "Celebrating 75 Years of the Transistor! A L... » read more

Accelerate The Algorithm To Silicon Development With Stratus HLS
By Cadence - 21 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

Growth in demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and digital signal processing (DSP) applications, coupled with advances in semiconductor process technology, drives increasingly denser SoCs. These complex SoCs further challenge the design team’s ability to meet performance, power, and area (PPA) goals within tight time-to-market windows. We need automated and targeted solutions that efficien... » read more

Enable Application Design Without Considering Device Configuration
By Satoshi Kubota - 21 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

The software-defined vehicle, which defines in-vehicle value through software, requires new applications to be deployed in a variety of vehicle models. To achieve this, developers need a solution that allows them to easily develop applications without considering device configuration in the ECU and to take maximum performance of the hardware. However, there are currently issues (figure 1). W... » read more
