The Threat Of Supply Chain Insecurity
By Ann Mutschler - 07 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 3

Concerns about counterfeit chips are growing as more chips are deployed in safety- and mission-critical applications, prompting better traceability and new and inexpensive solutions that can determine if chips are new or used. But some counterfeit chips still slip through, and the problem gets worse wherever there are shortages. Estimates vary widely for how much counterfeiting costs in term... » read more

Designing Vehicles Virtually
By John Koon - 07 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

The shift toward software-defined vehicles (SDVs), electric vehicles (EVs), and ultimately autonomous vehicles (AVs) is proving the value and exposing the weaknesses in simulating individual components and complete vehicles. The ability to model this intensely complex maze of real-world interactions and possible scenarios is improving, and it's happening faster than comparable road-testing o... » read more

Setting Standards For The Chip Industry
By Karen Heyman - 07 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 2

For all the advances in semiconductor design, and the astonishing scales on which the industry now works, when it comes to standards committee meetings, not much has changed. Advice from a 91-year-old retired engineer can sound surprisingly like advice from those active today. Standards were then, and continue to be, a mix of technical compromises and corporate politics, as well as passionate a... » read more

Integration Of S-Parameters For Power Module Verification Into The Engineers’ Design Environment
By Wilfried Wessel - 07 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

By Wilfried Wessel (Siemens EDA), Simon Liebetegger (University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt), and Florian Bauer (Siemens EDA) Developing a power module requires enhanced design and verification methods. Currently, multiple iterations are needed to get the design done. Today, design and manufacturing processes are heavily dependent on physical prototypes. The reason for this is the unique s... » read more

Blog Review: September 6
By Jesse Allen - 06 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

Cadence's Reela Samuel listens in as industry experts discuss whether generative AI-powered tools could facilitate the creation of diverse chip types and address talent shortages by creating  a more accessible entry point for those interested in circuit, chip, or system design. Synopsys' Ian Land, Jigesh Patel, and Kenneth Larsen find that the way that today’s government, aerospace, and d... » read more

Blog Review: August 30
By Jesse Allen - 30 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

Siemens' Dan Yu examines hallucinations in large language models, the Universal Approximation Theorem, and the role they play in applying LLMs to EDA. Cadence's Mamta Rana introduces shared flow control in PCIe 6.0, which enables the reduced cost implementation of multiple virtual channels by allowing common sets of resources to be shared. Synopsys' Arturo Salz and Johannes Stahl note tha... » read more

New Concepts Required For Security Verification
By Brian Bailey - 28 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

Verification for security requires new practices in both the development and verification flows, but tools and methodologies to enable this are rudimentary today. Flows are becoming more complex, especially when they span multiple development groups. Security is special in that it is pervasive throughout the development process, requiring both positive and negative verification. Positive ver... » read more

Optimizing IC Designs For Real-World Use Cases
By Brian Bailey - 24 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor systems are becoming more focused on power, performance, and area for the primary scenarios they are likely to see in real-world applications, but increasingly at the expense of secondary tasks. This is happening at all levels of abstraction and all stages of the design flow. At the highest level, processors are being optimized to run a given set of software. RISC-V is one of t... » read more

AI, Rising Chip Complexity Complicate Prototyping
By Karen Heyman - 24 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

Prototyping, an essential technology for designing complex chips in tight market windows, is becoming significantly more challenging for the growing number of designs that include AI/ML. Prototyping remains one of the foundational pillars of the whole shift left movement, allowing software to be developed and tested before actual silicon is available. That, in turn, enables multiple teams t... » read more
