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

Chip Industry Week in Review
By The SE Staff - 09 May, 2025 - Comments: 0

Check out the Inside Chips podcast for our behind-the-scenes analysis. The U.S. government is rescinding a Biden-era AI export rule that would have imposed complex restrictions on how U.S. chip and AI technology is sold abroad, a move welcomed by companies like Nvidia, reports Bloomberg. While new, simpler guidelines are expected in the coming months, the decision introduces short-term uncer... » read more

Cadence’s Sree Parvathy points out how electrothermal analysis can help designers understand how temperature changes affect device behavior, such as mobility, threshold voltage, and saturation to mitigate potential failures due to thermal overstress. In a podcast, Siemens’ Conor Peick, Dale Tutt, and Mike Ellow chat about the transition towards software-defined products and why companies... » read more

Security Power Requirements Are Growing
By Adam Kovac - 28 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

Determining how much power to budget for security in a chip design is a complex calculation. It starts with a risk assessment of the cost of a breach and the number of possible attack vectors, and whether security is active or passive. Different forms of root of trust and cryptography have different power costs. Different systems could require tradeoffs between performance and security, whic... » read more

New Ways To Improve EDA Productivity
By Ann Mutschler - 24 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

EDA vendors are taking aim at new ways to improve the productivity of design and verification engineers, who are struggling to keep pace with exponential increases in chip complexity in tight time-to-market windows and with constrained engineering talent pipelines. In the past, progress often was as straightforward as improving algorithms or parallelizing computations in a linear flow. But w... » read more
