There is a new breed of EDA emerging. Until recently, EDA tools were focused on building better chips, faster and with superior quality of results. Part of that process is verifying and debugging the resultant design. Thanks to ubiquitous AI workloads and multi-chip architectures, the data to be verified and debugged is exploding,… Read More

Industrial control systems (ICS) underpin the world’s most critical infrastructure: power grids, manufacturing plants, transportation networks, water systems, oil and gas facilities, and chemical processing operations. For decades, these systems relied on isolation, proprietary communication protocols, and hardware… Read More
AI Deployment Trends Outside Electronic Design
In a field as white-hot as AI it can be difficult to separate cheerleading from reality. I am as enthusiastic as others about the potential but not the “AI everywhere in everything” message that some emphasize. So it was interesting to find a survey which looks at the deployment reality outside our narrow domain of electronic and … Read More
Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFICs) Generated by AI Based Design Automation
By Jason Liu, RFIC-GPT Inc.
Radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) have become increasingly critical in modern electronic systems, driven by the rapid growth of wireless communication technologies (5G/6G), the Internet of Things (IoT), and advanced radar systems. With the desire for lower power consumption, higher… Read More

Propelling DFT to New Levels of Coverage
Siemens recently released a white paper on a methodology to enhance test coverage for designs with tight DPPM requirements. I confess when I first skimmed the paper, I thought this was another spin on fault simulation for ASIL A-D qualification, but I was corrected and now agree that while there are some conceptual similarities… Read More
AI-Driven DRC Productivity Optimization: Insights from Siemens EDA’s 2025 TSMC OIP Presentation
In the rapidly evolving semiconductor industry, Design Rule Checking (DRC) remains a critical bottleneck in chip design workflows. Siemens EDA’s presentation at the 2025 TSMC Open Innovation Platform Forum, titled “AI-Driven DRC Productivity Optimization,” showcases how artificial intelligence … Read More
How PCIe Multistream Architecture Enables AI Connectivity at 64 GT/s and 128 GT/s
As AI and HPC systems scale to thousands of CPUs, GPUs, and accelerators, interconnect performance increasingly determines end-to-end efficiency. Training and inference pipelines rely on low-latency coordination, high-bandwidth memory transfers, and rapid communication across heterogeneous devices. With model sizes… Read More
