IEDM 2025 SemiWiki

It is hard to believe this conference is older than most all of the participants, including myself. The amount of history behind this conference is amazing. Back in 1955 the meeting began as the Electron Devices Meeting (EDM), organized by what later became the IEEE Electron Devices Society. Its core purpose was to bring together… Read More

Synopsys TestMAX family

I first learned about ATPG – Automatic Test Program Generation in the 1980s at Silicon Compilers, then continued in the 90s at Viewlogic with the Sunrise tools, so it was illuminating to get an update from Synopsys on their ATPG technology by attending a webinar. Synopsys over the years has developed a family of test tools, shown … Read More

Taming Advanced Node Clock Network Challenges: Jitter

Taming Advanced Node Clock Network Challenges: Jitter
by Mike Gianfagna on 01-30-2026 at 6:00 am

Taming Advanced Node Clock Network Challenges Jitter

Clock jitter rarely fails in obvious ways. In advanced-node designs, its impact is often indirect, emerging through subtle timing uncertainty, interaction with power delivery noise, and compounding effects across large clock networks. These behaviors can quietly erode margin and predictability, even when conventional… Read More
