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 SE Staff - 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

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

Testing 2.5D And 3D-ICs
By Ed Sperling - 25 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

Disaggregating SoCs allows chipmakers to cram more features and functions into a package than can fit on a reticle-sized chip. But as Vidya Neerkundar, technical marketing engineer at Siemens EDA explains, there are challenges in accessing all of the dies or chiplets in a package. The new IEEE 1838 standard addresses that, as well as what to do when 2.5D and 3D-ICs are combined together in the ... » read more
