True 3D-IC Problems
By Brian Bailey - 27 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

Placing logic on logic may sound like a small step, but several problems must be overcome to make it a reality. True 3D involves wafers stacked on top of each other in a highly integrated manner. This is very different from 2.5D integration, where logic is placed side-by-side, connected by an interposer. And there are some intermediate solutions today where significant memory is stacked on l... » read more

Designing For In-Circuit Monitors
By Ann Mutschler - 27 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

In every application space the semiconductor ecosystem touches, in-circuit monitors and sensors are playing an increasing role in silicon lifecycle management and concepts around reliability and resiliency — both during design as well as in the field. The combination of true system-level design, in/on-chip monitors, and improved data analysis are expected to drastically improve reliability... » read more

Notes From CadenceLIVE Silicon Valley 2023
By Paul McLellan - 27 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

Last week was CadenceLIVE Silicon Valley, held at the Santa Clara Convention Center, and took place, as usual, over two days. It was very well attended and everywhere seemed fairly crowded. The structure of CadenceLIVE was that the first morning was taken up with four keynotes. Then the rest of the day and all of the following day were taken up with about ten parallel technical tracks. And at l... » read more

Blog Review: April 26
By Jesse Allen - 26 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

Codasip's Tora Fridholm introduces the NimbleAI project, an effort to design a neuromorphic sensing and processing 3D integrated chip that implements an always-on sensing stage, highly specialized event-driven processing kernels and neural networks to perform visual inference of selected stimuli using the bare minimum amount of energy. Synopsys' Anjaneya Thakar discusses computational lithog... » read more

Automated HW/SW Co-Design Of DSP Systems Composed Of Processors And Hardware Accelerators
By Cadence - 26 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

Seemingly overnight, data acquisition and digital signal processing have gone from a hidden background function in special purpose-built subsystems, such as PC graphics cards and airborne missile guidance systems, to the foreground in the form of in-ear IoT devices, smartphones, and autonomous vehicles. As the number of smart data-acquisition devices grows, so does the amount of data requiring ... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Susan Rambo - 21 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

Pervasive computing Broadcom announced delivery of its Jericho3-AI fabric for artificial intelligence (AI) networks, which delivers 26 petabits per second of Ethernet bandwidth. That is roughly four times the bandwidth of the previous generation, at a 40% power savings per gigabit. AMD released the Ryzen Embedded 5000 Series processors for customers requiring power-efficient processors opt... » read more
