Silicon Lifecycle Management Gains Traction, But It’s Complicated
By Ann Mutschler - 28 Aug, 2025 - Comments: 0

Silicon lifecycle management (SLM) is gaining ground in semiconductor design and test by leveraging specialized on-die sensors and analytics engines to improve power, performance, yield, and reliability. Most modern SoCs mitigate the guesswork by leveraging DFT, which includes adding memory built-in self-test (BiST) or improving functional coverage, but these tests were meant for verifying c... » read more

AI, Product Lifecycle Management, Market Dynamics: Q&A With Jay Vleeschhouwer Of Griffin Securities 
By Bob Smith - 24 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

In the world of EDA, Jay Vleeschhouwer, managing director of software research at Griffin Securities, needs no introduction. His presentation on the State of EDA is standing room only at the yearly Design Automation Conference (DAC). He recently agreed to a discussion with me where we talked about AI and EDA, an interesting development with product lifecycle management and global dynamics af... » read more

From Data To Decisions: Exploring Enterprise Digital Thread Strategy And Simulation
By Sanjay Angadi - 17 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

By Sanjay Angadi and Matteo Nicolich It’s nice to think that “aha” moments come out of nowhere — that the next big thing is the result of unbridled genius (or plain dumb luck). But in reality, effective, sustainable product development rarely arises from a solitary flash of brilliance. Innovation requires information, context, collaboration, experimentation, and even failure. Usin... » read more

Developing Workflows To Streamline System-Level Design
By Ann Mutschler - 28 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: One of the big challenges facing EDA companies is explaining to customers what's possible, how to streamline their designs, and what can be accomplished at what level of risk. Semiconductor Engineering sat down to talk about how relationships are fundamentally changing between EDA companies and their customers Michal Siwinski, chief marketing officer at Arteris; Chris Muet... » read more

Focus Shifts To Application-Specific Workloads
By Ann Mutschler - 07 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: EDA has undergone numerous workflow changes over time. Different skill sets have come into play over the years, and at times this changed the definition of what it means to design at the system level. To work out what this means for designers today, and how it looks going forward, Semiconductor Engineering sat down with Michal Siwinski, chief marketing officer at Arteris; ... » read more

Where Are The Autonomous Cars?
By Marie C. Baca - 08 Aug, 2022 - Comments: 0

Are we there yet? Governments, consumers, and engineers alike want to know how close the automotive world is to producing a fully autonomous Level 5 vehicle. While some experts say such vehicles could hit the road in the next few years, they're a shrinking minority. Most forecasts say a truly self-driving car is at least a decade away — and maybe much longer, because it requires disruptive... » read more

Software Infrastructure For Silicon Lifecycle Management
By Siemens EDA - 12 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor technology continues to deliver higher levels of logic density in the era of nanometer processes. System-on-chip (SoC) teams can deliver even higher functionality when coupled with the massive integration possibilities of three-dimensional integrated circuit (3DIC) architectures. However, this growth must be matched by increases in capabilities and productivity in the collection a... » read more

Product Lifecycle Management For Semiconductors
By Brian Bailey - 23 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 1

Product lifecycle management (PLM) and the semiconductor industry have always been separate, but pressure is growing to integrate them. Automotive, IIoT, medical, and other industries see that as the only way to manage many aspects of their business, and as it stands, semiconductors are a large black box in that methodology. The technology space is driven by a mix of top down and bottom-up p... » read more

Structural Vs. Functional
By Brian Bailey - 23 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

When working on an article about PLM and semiconductors, I got to review a favorite topic from my days in EDA development – verification versus validation. I built extensive presentations around it and tried to persuade people within the EDA industry, as well as customers, about the advantages of doing a top-down functional modeling and analysis. The V diagram that everyone uses is flawed and... » read more
