Semiconductor Engineering discussed the issue with John Min, vice president of customer service at Arteris; Zdeněk Přikryl, CTO of Codasip; Neil Hand, director of marketing at Siemens EDA (at the time of this discussion); Frank Schirrmeister, executive director for strategi... » read more

Innovate Faster with A Multi-Die Solution
By Synopsys - 13 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

The semiconductor industry is experiencing a monumental shift in chip design, driven by the dramatic increase in AI compute performance requirements and limitations of Moore’s Law. The industry is adopting multi-die designs, which is the heterogeneous or homogeneous integration of dies (also called chiplets) in a single package. While multi-die design is the solution, it also introduces se... » read more

Power-Aware Test Vector Porting For Production ATE
By Hari Mani - 12 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Power management in contemporary system-on-chip (SoC) designs is almost unimaginably complex. Processors and other chip cores turn on and off as needed. Advanced features such as dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) can adjust to changing conditions and incrementally adjust power and performance on the fly. Power management starts from the lowest hardware level of transistor structures ... » read more

Yield Management Embraces Expanding Role
By Laura Peters - 12 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Competitive pressures, shrinking time-to-market windows, and increased customization are collectively changing the dynamics and demands for yield management systems, shifting left from the fab to the design flow and right to assembly, packaging, and in-field analysis. The basic role of yield management systems is still expediting new product introductions, reducing scrap, and delivering grea... » read more

Automotive OEMs Focus On SDVs, Zonal Architectures
By Ann Mutschler - 07 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Giant automotive OEMs are re-evaluating how quickly to move to advanced technologies and software-driven designs amid crushing financial pressure from low-cost EVs developed in other markets such as China. U.S., European, and Japanese OEMs have been struggling for the past half-decade or so to figure out which is the best approach to developing EVs, undergoing multiple shifts in both hardwar... » read more

PCIe IP With Enhanced Security For The Automotive Market
By Dana Neustadter - 07 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

The automotive industry is undergoing a rapid transformation, with connectivity and automation becoming integral components of modern vehicles. However, this increased connectivity also brings heightened risks. The automotive industry takes many measures to ensure safety for vehicles, but it is crucial to understand that these safety measures are ineffective if the vehicle's security is comprom... » read more

AI Drives IC Design Shifts At The Edge
By Adam Kovac and Ed Sperling - 07 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

The increasing adoption of AI in edge devices, coupled with a growing demand for new features, is forcing chipmakers to rethink when and where data gets processed, what kind of processors to use, and how to build enough flexibility into systems to span multiple markets. Unlike in the cloud, where the solution generally involves nearly unlimited resources, computing at the edge has sharp cons... » read more

Democratizing Roots of Trust from Silicon to Software
By Synopsys - 07 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

With a vast amount of devices getting connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) and the growing number of low-cost attacks being developed to hack such IoT devices, it is clear that the need for embedded security solutions is rising dramatically. A security subsystem in the main system-on-chip (SoC) of a device can be deployed to offer secure cryptographic services to the applications running o... » read more

Big Changes Ahead For Analog Design
By Ed Sperling - 06 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 1

Experts at the Table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the impact of heterogeneous integration on in-house analog tools, and how that is changing the design process, 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 product manager for custom ... » read more

Blog Review: Nov. 6
By Jesse Allen - 06 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Cadence's Satish Kumar C explores how the Deferrable Memory Write transaction type in PCIe and CXL can improve latency, efficiency, and performance by delaying certain memory write operations during system bus congestion or until other priority tasks are complete and highlights implementation and verification challenges. Synopsys' Daryl Seitzer and Rahul Thukral point to magnetoresistive RAM... » read more
