Realizing Your Product Potential Through Pervasive Simulation And Advanced Manufacturing Processes


Global demand for resources has inevitably led to scarcity. The use of resources also generates significant levels of pollution and waste that are difficult to manage. With an ever-growing focus on sustainability, efficiency, and cost savings, the economy is changing. Consumers are demanding products that are made responsibly and optimized for energy efficiency. Many businesses are looking for ... » read more

Blog Review: June 1


Analog Photonics' Erman Timurdogan, Ren-Jye Shiue, and Mohammad H. Teimourpour, and Ansys' Bozidar Novakovic, Ahsan Alam, and Peter Hallschmid consider the development of photonic process design kits and the importance of choosing a laser model that can optimally satisfy often conflicting requirements between the number of known laser parameters, the model accuracy, and the computational time. ... » read more

Blog Review: May 25


Coventor's Michael Hargrove points to the need for a new generation of deep-submicron CMOS circuits that can operate at deep-cryogenic temperatures to achieve a quantum integrated circuit where the array of qubits is integrated on the same chip as the CMOS electronics required to read the state of the qubits. Ansys' Marc Swinnen warns about dynamic voltage drop as ultra-low supply voltages, ... » read more

Automotive, mobility The number new energy vehicles (NEVs) sold went up 80% from year over year, says TrendForce in its review of market for Q1 2022. NEVs are battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and fuel cell vehicles. Over 2.004 million units sold in the first quarter of 2022 (1Q22), with BEVs making the strongest showing at 1.508 million units, a 271% ... » read more

Blog Review: May 18


Coventor's Gerold Schropfer considers taking an approach from the early days of computing and using MEMS technology to create computers based on micro-scale electro-mechanical logic and memory for emerging low-energy computing applications such as autonomous sensor nodes and edge computing. Synopsys' Morten Christiansen explains how USB4 differs from USB 3.2, allowing simultaneous host-to-ho... » read more

Software-Defined Cars


Automotive architectures are becoming increasingly software-driven, a shift that simplifies upgrades and makes it easier to add new features into vehicles. All of this is enabled by the increasing digitalization of automotive functions and features, shifting from mechanical to electrical design, and increasingly from analog to digital data. That enables OEMs to add or up-sell features years ... » read more

Blog Review: May 11


Ansys' Vidyu Challa checks out how to identify the most important battery metrics for a particular application and trade these off against others with a focus on the important considerations when selecting the right battery for a consumer application, such as rechargeability, energy density, power density, shelf life, safety, form factor, cost, and flexibility. Cadence's Shyam Sharma points ... » read more
