What’s Next For Power Electronics? Beyond Silicon
By Emily Yan - 29 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

For more than half a century, silicon has been the bedrock of power electronics. Yet as silicon meets its physical limitations in higher-power, higher-temperature applications, the industry’s relentless pursuit of more efficient power systems has ushered in the wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors era. The global WBG semiconductors market reached $1.6 billion in 2022, with an estimated CAGR of ... » read more

Blog Review: Feb. 28

Synopsys' Emilie Viasnoff suggests that employing virtual sensors when developing an autonomous driving system helps aid in sensor design and minimizes the hazards associated with extensive real-world driving. Cadence's Anthony Ducimo introduces a methodology for embedded BootROM verification that relies only on standard RTL verification toolchains to reveal bugs, identify unused sections of... » read more

Understanding The Differences Between Oscilloscopes And Digitizers For Wideband Signal Acquisitions
By Keysight - 28 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

Most of us remember the first time we used an oscilloscope. With one look at the large display, we could tell what was happening to our waveforms. From the earliest days, oscilloscopes have been a primary tool for quick visualization of time-variant waveforms, and over the years, they’ve become a core instrument on the bench. Wideband digitizers are related to modern oscilloscopes since both ... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review

By Susan Rambo, Karen Heyman, and Liz Allan. Renesas plans to acquire Altium, maker of PCB design software, for $5.9 billion. In a conference call, Renesas CEO Hidetoshi Shibata cited Altium's PCB design software and digital twin virtual modeling as key components of its future strategy. "I believe it will generate transformational value for our combined customers and our stakeholders," Shib... » read more

What Is A Chiplet, And Why Should You Care?
By Roberto Piacentini Filho - 15 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

Chiplets are a new way to build system-on-chips (SoCs) that can improve yields and reduce costs by more than 45%. It partitions the chip into discrete elements and connects them with a standardized interface, allowing designers to meet performance, efficiency, power, size, and cost challenges in the 5/6G, AI, and VR era. Unlike monolithic SoCs, chiplets enable an open ecosystem of modular co... » read more

Blog Review: Feb. 14
By Liz Allan - 14 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

Siemens’ Dilan Heredia and Karen Chow explain why fast, accurate parasitic extraction (PEX) is essential to design success, especially for the 3 nm node and GAAFETs. Synopsys’ Srinivas Velivala debunks the myth that layout-versus-schematic (LVS) checking is a static step in the chip development process, and details its evolving role in modern SoCs. Cadence’s Mark Seymour digs into a... » read more
