SoC projects are running behind schedule as design and verification complexity has increased dramatically, so just adding more engineers, more tests and more compute aren’t the answer. The time is ripe to consider smarter ways to improve verification efficiency. The added complexity of multiple embedded processors, multiple… Read More
Further on the theme of what jobs will AI displace or radically change, I have been thinking about Walmart’s recent announcement with OpenAI, to enable customers to buy products directly within ChatGPT. Seems far removed from any care-abouts in electronic design but bear with me. We’ve been hearing about sizeable layoffs at Amazon,… Read More

The big semiconductor news this week is the legal action TSMC is taking against former Senior Vice President Wei-Jen Lo. This looks to be a serious game of 3D chess between CC Wei and Lip-Bu Tan so it is worth a look. I got this notice in my inbox early Tuesday morning:
Immediately following, there was an interesting discussion on SemiWiki… Read More
In the complex world of IC design, electrical verification has emerged as a critical yet often overlooked bottleneck. Aniah’s upcoming webinar on December 4, 2025, titled “Electrical Verification: The Invisible Bottleneck in IC Design,” sheds light on this issue, introducing their groundbreaking OneCheck® solution. … Read More
The explosive growth of AI and accelerated computing is placing unprecedented demands on system-on-chip (SoC) design. Modern AI workloads require extremely high bandwidth, ultra-low latency, and energy-efficient data movement across increasingly heterogeneous architectures. As SoCs scale to incorporate clusters of… Read More
In the fast-evolving world of electronic design automation (EDA), where complexity multiplies with every nanometer shrink and AI integration, data silos are the silent killers of innovation. Keysight Technologies, a leader in design and test solutions, tackles this head-on with their webinar “From Silos to Systems,… Read More
It was very clear at the recent 2025 TSMC OIP Ecosystem Forum that the semiconductor I/O landscape has undergone a profound transformation over the past 25 years, evolving from simple general-purpose input/output (GPIO) cells in 180nm nodes to highly complex, multi-protocol, feature-rich libraries in advanced 16nm and 22nm… Read More
