Aging, Complexity, And AI In Analog Design
By Ed Sperling - 27 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts at the Table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss abstraction in analog vs. digital, how analog circuits age, the growing role of AI, and why there is so much margin in analog designs, with Mo Faisal, president and CEO of Movellus; Hany Elhak, executive director of product management at Synopsys; Cedric Pujol, product manager at Keysight; and Pradeep Thiagarajan, principal pro... » read more

How To Speed Up LVS Verification
By Wael elManhawy - 26 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Layout versus schematic (LVS) comparison is a crucial step in integrated circuit (IC) design verification, ensuring that the physical layout of the circuit matches its schematic representation. The primary goal of LVS is to verify the correctness and functionality of the design. Traditionally, LVS comparison is performed during signoff verification, where dedicated tools compare layout and sche... » read more

Slow Progress On Generative EDA
By Brian Bailey - 26 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Progress is being made in generative EDA, but the lack of training data remains the biggest problem. Some areas are finding ways around this. Generative AI, driven by large language models (LLMs), stormed into the world just two years ago, and since then has worked its way into almost every aspect of our lives. Some people love it, others hate it, and some even give dire warnings about machi... » read more

How AI Is Transforming System Design
By Adam Kovac - 26 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: ChatGPT and other LLMs have attracted most of the attention in recent years, but other forms of AI have long been incorporated into design workflows. The technology has become so common that many designers may not even realize it’s a part of the tools they use every day. But its adoption is spreading deeper into tools and methodologies. Semiconductor Engineering sat down... » read more

Blog Review: Nov. 20
By Jesse Allen - 20 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Siemens’ Jonathan Muirhead explains why matching and symmetry are so important for analog and RF circuits, especially in topological structures like differential pairs and current mirrors, and introduces checking techniques to ensure compliance. Cadence's Satish Kumar Padhi examines the significance of randomization in PCIe IDE verification, focusing on how it ensures data integrity and en... » read more

Harnessing Computational Storage For Faster Data Processing
By Ujjwal Negi - 14 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

By Ujjwal Negi and Prashant Dixit In the evolving landscape of data storage, computational storage devices (CSDs) are revolutionizing how we process and store data. By embedding processing capabilities within storage units, these devices enable in-situ data manipulation, minimizing data movement between storage and CPUs and dramatically improving performance and efficiency. This paradigm shi... » read more

Shift Left Is The Tip Of The Iceberg
By Brian Bailey - 14 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 1

Shift left is evolving from a buzzword into a much broader shift in design methodology and EDA tooling, and while it's still early innings there is widespread agreement that it will be transformative. The semiconductor industry has gone through many changes over the past few decades. Some are obvious, but others happen because of a convergence of multiple factors that require systemic change... » read more

Accelerating Verification Of Computational Storage Designs Using Avery NVMe Verification IP
By Siemens EDA - 14 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Computational storage is an emerging paradigm that integrates processing capabilities directly within storage devices. This paper outlines how this approach addresses the limitations of traditional NVM Express (NVMe) SSDs and the performance characteristics of the newly introduced compute and subsystem local memory (SLM) namespaces. The paper also focuses on the verification framework provided ... » read more

New AI Data Types Emerge
By Bryon Moyer - 14 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

AI is all about data, and the representation of the data matters strongly. But after focusing primarily on 8-bit integers and 32‑bit floating-point numbers, the industry is now looking at new formats. There is no single best type for every situation, because the choice depends on the type of AI model, whether accuracy, performance, or power is prioritized, and where the computing happens, ... » read more
