Pressure Builds To Adopt Virtual Prototypes
By Brian Bailey - 26 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

Virtual prototypes, often used as a niche tool in the past, are becoming essential for developing complex systems. In fact, systems companies are finding they no longer can function without them. In the semiconductor industry, a virtual prototype is a model for a system at an abstraction level above RTL. But there is no such thing as 'the' virtual prototype. They are constructed for a partic... » read more

Devising Security Solutions For Hardware Threats
By Adam Kovac - 25 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: Hardware security has evolved considerably in recent years, but getting products to market is a challenge in an environment where threats are always evolving and rarely predictable. That’s especially true given the sheer volume and variety of products being introduced. Semiconductor Engineering sat down with a panel of experts at the Design Automation Conference in San F... » read more

Synopsys agreed to sell its Optical Solutions Group to Keysight for an undisclosed amount, in a deal deemed necessary for Synopsys to win regulatory approval for its planned acquisition of Ansys. The sale to Keysight is contingent on the Synopsys-Ansys deal going through. Meanwhile, Ansys has its own optical business. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) made the first awards for Microelectr... » read more

Managing EMI in High-Density Integration
By Gregory Haley - 19 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

The relentless drive for higher performance and increased functional integration has ushered in new challenges for managing electromagnetic interference (EMI) in densely packed mixed-signal environments. Integrating analog, RF, and digital circuits into a single system-on-chip (SoC) or advanced package requires solutions that reduce system size and improve performance. However, this tight in... » read more

Blog Review: Sept. 18

Siemens’ Kyle Fraunfelter explores the similarities between hurricane forecasting and semiconductor manufacturing to argue for the value of integrating real-time wafer fabrication measurements into the digital twin models used to simulate the semiconductor fabrication process. Cadence’s Rohini Kollipara introduces Display Stream Compression (DSC), which can enable higher resolutions and ... » read more

Blog Review: Sept. 11
By Jesse Allen - 11 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

Cadence's Neha Joshi introduces the IEEE 1801 standard, also known as UPF (Unified Power Format), which offers a uniform framework for defining power domains, power states, and power intent to ensure consistency across diverse tools and phases of the design process. Siemens' John McMillan warns that known good die may not behave the same in 3D-ICs as they do standalone and suggests that mult... » read more

Security Improving For Low-Cost Hardware
By Adam Kovac - 05 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

Security has been a priority in software for decades, but only recently has it begun catching up in chips — particularly those in inexpensive devices. The disconnect is that while these devices are low-cost, they often are connected to the same networks as more sophisticated devices and repositories for valuable data. It's not unusual for the entry point in ransomware or distributed denial... » read more

Blog Review: Sept. 4
By Jesse Allen - 04 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

Synopsys' Jyotika Athavale and Randy Fish sit down with Google's Rama Govindaraju and Microsoft's Robert S. Chappell to discuss silent data corruption and why a solution will require chip designers and manufacturers, software and hardware engineers, vendors, and anyone involved in computer data to collaborate and take the issue seriously. Siemens' Karen Chow and Joel Mercier explain the rela... » read more
