Arm's Benoit Labbe investigates why battery monitoring is so important for a low-power microcontroller and shows how it was implemented in the M0N0 MCU while drawing a fraction of a nW in typical conditions. Siemens EDA's Harry Foster takes a look at how much of their time FPGA design engineers spend on verification, and the tasks that keep verification engineers the busiest. Synopsys' Sc... » read more

Edge Inference Applications And Market Segmentation
By Geoff Tate - 03 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

Until recently, most AI was in data centers/cloud and most of that was training. Things are changing quickly. Projections are AI sales will grow rapidly to tens of billions of dollars by the mid 2020s, with most of the growth in edge AI inference. Data center/cloud vs. edge inference: What’s the difference? The data center/cloud is where inference started on Xeons. To gain efficiency, much ... » read more

Designs Beyond The Reticle Limit
By Brian Bailey - 12 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

Designs continue to grow in size and complexity, but today they are reaching both physical and economic challenges. These challenges are causing a reversal of the integration trend that has provided much of the performance and power gains over the past couple of decades. The industry, far from giving up, is exploring new ways to enable designs to go beyond the reticle size, which is around 8... » read more

Week In Review: Manufacturing, Test
By Mark LaPedus - 06 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

Chipmakers Earlier this year, the semiconductor industry saw little merger and acquisition activity. More recently, though, there has been a flurry of deals. In July, ADI moved to acquire Maxim. Then, Nvidia announced plans to acquire Arm for $40 billion, followed by AMD’s proposed move to buy Xilinx for $35 billion. Not to be outdone, Marvell has announced plans to buy Inphi. Companies a... » read more

Blog Review: Nov. 4
