In today’s semiconductor industry, success hinges not only on innovation but also on discipline in managing complexity. Every system-on-chip (SoC) is built from hundreds of reusable IP blocks—standard cells, memories, interfaces, and analog components. These IPs are the foundation of the design. But if the foundation… Read More
U.S. electronics production has been on an accelerating growth trend over the last ten months. Three-month average change versus a year ago (3/12 change) has increased from 0.4% in October 2024 to 6.2% in August 2025. Japan’s 3/12 change has been positive since November 2024, but has been decelerating for most of 2025, reaching… Read More
