One of the more in interesting companies I met at the AI Infra Summit was a company known to me for some time. The most interesting part was the chip they are in the process of taping out; It is a high-performance, ultra-low-power AI processor purpose-built for edge computing. It is claimed to deliver “the processing muscle … Read More

Chiplets: Powering the Next Generation of AI Systems
AI’s rapid expansion is reshaping semiconductor design. The compute and I/O needs of modern AI workloads have outgrown what traditional SoC scaling can deliver. As monolithic dies approach reticle limits, yields drop and costs rise, while analog and I/O circuits gain little from moving to advanced process nodes. To sustain … Read More
Better Automatic Generation of Documentation from RTL Code
One technical topic I always find intriguing is the availability of links between documentation and chip design. It used to be simple: there weren’t any. Architects wrote a specification (spec) in text, in Word if they had PCs, or using “troff” or a similar format if they were limited to Unix platforms. Then the hardware designers… Read More
FD-SOI: A Cyber-Resilient Substrate for Secure Automotive Electronics
The paper highlights how Fully Depleted Silicon-On-Insulator (FD-SOI) technology provides a robust defense against Laser Fault Injection (LFI), a precise, laboratory-grade attack method that can compromise cryptographic and safety-critical hardware. As vehicles become increasingly digital and connected, with dozens… Read More
