Chasing Reliability In Automotive Electronics
By Susan Rambo And Ed Sperling - 15 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

Assuring reliability in automotive electronics has set off a scramble across the semiconductor supply chain and unearthed a list of issues for which there is insufficient data, a lack of well-defined standards, and inconsistent levels of expertise. Reliable functional safety that spans 18 to 20 years of service in harsh environments, or under constant use with autonomous taxis or trucks, is ... » read more

IoT Merging Into Data-Driven Design
By Ed Sperling and Kevin Fogarty - 10 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

The Internet of Things is becoming more difficult to define and utilize for an effective business strategy. While an increasing number devices send data to the cloud or some local server, so much data is being generated and moved around that new strategies are being developed to rethink what needs to be processed where. Back in 2013, when the IoT concept really began taking off, connectivity... » read more

What Makes A Chip Design Successful Today?
By Brian Bailey - 13 Dec, 2018 - Comments: 0

"Transistors are free" was the rallying cry of the semiconductor industry during the 1990s and early 2000s. That is no longer true. The end of Dennard scaling made the simultaneous use of all the transistors troublesome, but transistors remained effectively unlimited. This led to an era where large amounts of flexibility could be built into a chip. It didn't matter if all of it was being use... » read more

Collaborative IC Design Mandates Integrated Data Management
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 05 Dec, 2018 - Comments: 0

Due to complexity and multi-domain expertise, custom IC design typically requires a team to successfully design and verify the project. Often, specific blocks are assigned to team members based on analog, digital, MEMS, RF expertise, across multiple geographies, and separate verification team members focus on block and system validation. This means that unstructured design files with multiple c... » read more

Getting Down To Business On Chiplets
By Ed Sperling - 26 Nov, 2018 - Comments: 0

Government agencies, industry groups and individual companies are beginning to rally around various chiplet models, setting the stage for complex chips that are quicker and cheaper to build using standardized interfaces and components. The idea of putting together different modules like LEGOs has been talked about for the better part of a decade. So far, only Marvell has used this concept co... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 21 Nov, 2018 - Comments: 0

Cadence taped out a complete GDDR6 memory IP solution consisting of PHY, controller and Verification IP on Samsung's 7LPP process. The GDDR6 IP allows up to 16Gb/sec bandwidth per pin, or over 500Gb/sec peak bandwidth between the SoC and each GDDR6 memory die. It is targeted at very high-bandwidth applications including AI, cryptocurrency mining, graphics, ADAS and HPC. ClioSoft debuted a So... » read more

Week in Review: IoT, Security, Auto
