This ebook by John Burkhert is a step-by-step guide on printed circuit board design with information suitable for beginners to graduate-level users. This series is for anyone who wants to design their own printed circuit boards or perform designs for others. While an electronics degree is not required, beginners would do well to consider basic electronic theory as a prerequisite. Each ... » read more

Chip Design Shifts As Fundamental Laws Run Out Of Steam
By Ann Mutschler - 31 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 12

Dennard scaling is gone, Amdahl's Law is reaching its limit, and Moore's Law is becoming difficult and expensive to follow, particularly as power and performance benefits diminish. And while none of that has reduced opportunities for much faster, lower-power chips, it has significantly shifted the dynamics for their design and manufacturing. Rather than just different process nodes and half ... » read more

Chip Industry Earnings: A Mixed Bag
By Linda Christensen - 28 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

Editor's Note: Updated the week of Oct. 31 and Nov. 7 for additional earnings releases. Although most companies reported revenue growth, this latest round of chip industry earnings releases reflected a few major themes: Lower future quarter guidance to varying degrees, due to the recent U.S. export restrictions related to China; Negative impact of the inflationary environment on corn... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Marie C. Baca - 28 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

Tools and IP Scandinavian researchers used a laser-powered chip to transmit about 1.84 petabytes of data over a fiber optic cable in one second. The scientists said the technology could lead to faster broadband speeds and reduce the amount of energy used to keep the internet running. Imec said the semiconductor industry is likely to see increasing separation of power delivery and signal rou... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Susan Rambo - 28 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

Automotive, mobility Ford Motor Company revealed it lost $827 million in the third quarter because of parts shortages and unexpected supplier costs. Those shortages affected 40,000 to 50,000 vehicles. The company is shutting down its interest in its self-driving car unit Argo.ai, which it shared with Volkswagen since 2019. Ford will instead focus on advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS), which... » read more

Raising IP Integration Up A Level
By Brian Bailey - 27 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

An increase in the number and complexity of IP blocks, coupled with changing architectures and design concerns, are driving up the need for new tools that can enable, automate, and optimize integration in advanced chips and packages. Power, security, verification and a host of other issues are cross-cutting concerns, and they make pure hierarchical approaches difficult. Adding to future comp... » read more

Fabless IDMs Redefine The Leading Edge
By Marie C. Baca - 27 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

Large systems companies are looking more like integrated device manufacturers, designing their own advanced chips, packages, and systems for internal use. But because these are not pure-play chip companies, they are disrupting a 10-year cadence of customization and standardization that has defined the chip industry from its inception, and extending the period of innovation without the associate... » read more

AI-Driven Big Data Analytics Enables Actionable Intelligence, Improving SoC Design Productivity
By Cadence - 26 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

As the latest systems on chip (SoCs) grow in size and complexity, a vast amount of design data is generated during verification and implementation. Design data is business critical and, with the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) use in chip design, provides designers an opportunity to carry forward learnings and insights with every new design. To achieve first-pass success deliverin... » read more

Blog Review: Oct. 26
By Jesse Allen - 26 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

Synopsys' Teng-Kiat Lee and Sandeep Mehndiratta argue that IC design in the cloud can support an existing on-prem strategy, enable large and small enterprises to manage cost and capacity more effectively, and offer security for valuable semiconductor IP. Siemens EDA's Chris Spear finds that SystemVerilog classes are a good way to encapsulate both variables and the routines that operates on t... » read more

Chip Challenges In The Metaverse
By Marie C. Baca and Ed Sperling - 24 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

The metaverse is pushing the limits of chip design, despite uncertainty about how much raw horsepower these devices ultimately will require to deliver an immersive blend of augmented, virtual, and mixed reality. The big challenge in developing these systems is the ability to process mixed data types in real time while the data moves uninterrupted at lightning speed. That requires the integra... » read more
