Daniel is joined by Dr. Bernard Murphy, a friend and fellow blogger on SemiWiki.
Dan explores some key milestones in Bernard’s journey in semiconductors and EDA, beginning with a focus on nuclear physics. Bernard explains how he developed an interest in AI technology and applications. In this broad and informative discussion,… Read More
As process nodes advance, circuit behavior becomes progressively more challenging to analyze and predict. Few systems reflect this challenge more clearly than the clock network. These large, complex networks no longer behave as ideal digital signals. Instead, they operate as distributed electrical systems shaped by non-linear… Read More
