Dan is joined by Ninad Huilgol, founder and CEO at Innergy Systems. Ninad has extensive experience in design verification of ultra low-power mobile SoCs. Previously, he has worked in senior engineering management at various semiconductor companies such as Broadcom and Synopsys. He has multiple power- and design-related patents,… Read More
The Silicon Catalyst-Arm start-up contest winners were announced this week. This was the first contest of its kind so there was quite a bit of excitement. SemiWiki has worked closely with Silicon Catalyst for the past four years which has been quite the journey. Out of the one hundred plus companies SemiWiki has worked with over … Read More
Introduction of 2.5D and 3D multi-die based products are helping extend the boundaries of Moore’s Law, overcoming limitations in speed and capacity for high-end computational tasks. In spite of its critical function within the 3DIC paradigm, the interposer die’s role and related challenges are often neither fully comprehended… Read More
Recently, a partnership between Achronix and Bluespec has been in the news. Bluespec RISC-V processors are available as soft cores in a Speedster®7t FPGA on Achronix’s VectorPath® PCIe development card or in a standalone Speedster7t FPGA. We spoke with executives from Achronix and Bluespec about the impetus for this effort … Read More

Peter was running late for two reasons. First, he encountered unexpected heavy traffic and arrived ten minutes late for a crucial meeting with a customer to run a compliance test of his new 6G phone design prototyped on FPGAs. This prototype’s success was pivotal, as it could secure a significant purchase order.… Read More
Given false starts and OEM strategic retreats you could be forgiven for thinking that the autonomous personal car dream is now a lost cause. But that’s not quite true. While moonshot goals have been scaled back or are running under wraps, applications continue to advance, for adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance, automatic… Read More
As SoC complexities continue to expand to billions of transistors, the quest for higher levels of design automation also rises. This has led to the adoption of High-Level Synthesis (HLS), using design languages such as C++ and SystemC, which is more productive than traditional RTL design entry methods. In the RTL approach there… Read More
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a thin-film deposition method that continues to enable continuous advances in semiconductor device fabrication. Essentially, it involves exposing substrates sequentially to at least two different vapor phase atmospheres in which self-limiting reactions take place on the surface: the first… Read More
In the late 1970s, cryptographic history saw the emergence of two seminal algorithms: McEliece and RSA. At that time, quantum threats were theoretical, and the selection criteria for cryptographic algorithms prioritized public key length and execution time, leading to RSA’s prominence while McEliece remained obscure… Read More
I recently had an eye-opening discussion regarding the phenomena of soft errors in semiconductor devices. I always knew this could be a problem in space, where there are all kinds of high energy particles. What I didn’t realize is there are two trends that are making this kind of problem relevant on the ground as well as in space. The… Read More
