Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 18 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

AMD completed its acquisition of Xilinx. The all-stock deal ended up being valued at approximately $50 billion due to a rise in AMD's share price (the deal was valued at $35 billion when announced). The Xilinx business will become the newly formed Adaptive and Embedded Computing Group (AECG), led by former Xilinx CEO Victor Peng, and will continue its FPGA, adaptive SoC, and software roadmaps a... » read more

Nvidia's proposed acquisition of Arm is officially off. The deal faced significant pushback from regulatory agencies in the UK, USA, and Europe, which feared it would reduce or limit competition in areas like data center. Nvidia indicated it would continue working with Arm, and it will retain a 20-year Arm license. (SoftBank will retain the $1.25 billion prepaid by Nvidia.) SoftBank said it wil... » read more

Spreadsheets: Still Valuable, But More Limited
By Brian Bailey - 10 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 1

Spreadsheets have been an invaluable engineering tool for many aspects of semiconductor design and verification, but their inability to handle complexity is squeezing them out of an increasing number of applications. This is raising questions about whether they still have a role, and if so, how large that role will be. There are two sides to this issue. On one side are the users who see them... » read more

China’s regulators are agreeing to AMD’s acquisition of Xilinx with the caveat that AMD must agree not to force tie-in sales Xilinx's products with AMD products, according to Reuters. China's State Administration for Market Regulation said the companies cannot discriminate against customers using other technology. Xilinx's SEC 8-K form confirms that the two companies received clearance for ... » read more

Growth Spurred By Negatives
By Brian Bailey - 27 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

The success and health of the semiconductor industry is driven by the insatiable appetite for increasingly complex devices that impact every aspect of our lives. The number of design starts for the chips used in those devices drives the EDA industry. But at no point in history have there been as many market segments driving innovation as there are today. Moreover, there is no indication this... » read more

6G: Going Beyond 100 Gbps To 1 Tbps
By Keysight - 26 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

6G research is in its very early stages. The vision for what the International Telecommunication Union calls Network 2030 continues to take shape. While the industry is years away from starting the standards development process, subterahertz (sub-THz) territory is a focus of active research. Getting to 100 gigabits per second (Gbps) to 1 terabit per second (Tbps) data throughput is a key obj... » read more
