Emulating Systems Of Systems
By Frank Schirrmeister - 27 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

System design is all the craze these days. I have been in notably more discussions recently about how one can verify systems of systems. Does an airplane or a car lend itself to an array of emulators? Are multiple abstractions needed? How can design teams span electrical, mechanical, and thermal—as well as analog and digital—effects? Do companies need to re-organize to deal with system desi... » read more

Can A Supply Chain Be Too Efficient?
By Ed Sperling - 20 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

The semiconductor industry is a model of efficiency—literally. When other industries look at adding smart manufacturing into their operations, they often look to chip manufacturing as a shining example. After decades of business gyrations, semiconductor companies have figured out how to instill efficiency into every aspect of making chips. This is evident in device scaling. At 90nm, the co... » read more

How The Evolution Of SoC Design Is Igniting Innovation Again
By Phil Burr - 13 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

A funny thing happened on the way to the future. The futurologists were proven wrong. They said for years that the electronics industry was “consolidating,” and they sketched visions of a future that involved less innovation and openness, with fewer opportunities for entrepreneurs to deliver on their dreams. Reality turned out to be different. Yes, consolidation continues among tradit... » read more

Today’s product designs contain more functionality per square inch than ever before. We’ve all been impacted by the growth of smartphones and other consumer products, but digitalization has impacted every industry, from manufacturing and transportation to health care. Even traditional products are being reimagined with new smart capabilities. In the current fast-paced, highly competitive gl... » read more

Re-Using IP In Packaging
By Ed Sperling - 10 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

For the past decade, the promise held forth by advanced packaging was that it would allow chipmakers to mix and match analog and digital IP without worrying about the process node at which they were developed or the physical interactions between components. This is a big deal when it comes to analog. Analog IP doesn't benefit from node shrinking the way digital logic does, and in many cases ... » read more

Tracking Down Errors With Data
By Ed Sperling - 10 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

Michael Schuldenfrei, CTO at [getentity id="22929" comment="Optimal+"], sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to discuss how data will be used and secured in the future, the accuracy of that data, and what impact it can have on manufacturing. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. SE: Can data be shared across the supply chain? Schuldenfrei: We believe it has to happen. If it d... » read more

EDA, IP Growth Hits Double Digits
By Ed Sperling - 06 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

The cloud, advanced packaging and AI/machine learning pushed up EDA and IP revenue to the highest Q1 growth level since 2011. Revenue was up 10.5% year over year to $2.168 billion, compared with $1.962 billion in Q1 2016, according to just-released numbers from the Electronic System Design (ESD) Alliance. The four-quarter moving average increased by 10.6%. The two largest regions, the Americ... » read more

Industrial IoT: Where Is Silicon Valley?
By Brian Derrick - 06 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

Industry 4.0, Smart Factory 1.0, and Internet of Manufacturing are industry initiatives aimed at accelerating the Industrial IoT. With current market forecast exceeding $40 billion and projected to approach $100 billion by 2020, IIoT has everyone’s attention. Well, almost everyone. Turning volumes of factory data into actionable information from the supply chain, to the floor, to operations, ... » read more

IoT’s Success Will Be About The ‘Information Profit Margin’
By Philip Sparks - 06 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

Almost 20 years ago, on a clear, chilly spring day in Massachusetts, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan spoke at the Boston College Finance Conference 2000. What he said would mark a pivotal moment in our thinking about the impact of technology: “When historians look back at the latter half of the 1990s a decade or two hence, I suspect that they will conclude we are now living through... » read more

Cutting CapEx, Not Capacity
By Krzysztof Szczur - 29 Jun, 2017 - Comments: 0

‘The cloud’ has been an industry buzz word for some time now, and while the initial focus was on data storage and sharing - and spawned the likes of Dropbox – ‘cloud computing’ is currently the latest trend. For instance, Amazon’s cloud platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS), gives users access to servers and a range of applications. Storage is available as before but so too now are... » read more
