My Experience #61DAC
The theme of this year’s DAC was Chips to Systems which is a full circle type of thing since systems companies used to make their own chips. Old school computer companies were the biggest chip makers when I started in the semiconductor industry. IDMs like Motorola and Intel replaced them at the chip level. Shortly after I joined… Read More

Solido Siemens and the University of Saskatchewan
In my 40 years, I have worked for dozens of companies and just about everyone of them was acquired. Some of the acquisitions were accretive and some were not. Probably the best and most accretive one would be the Solido acquisition by Siemens EDA in 2017. I worked for Solido for ten years reporting to CEO Amit Gupta. I handled Taiwan … Read More
Automotive Designs Have No Room for Error!
Automotive designs demand a high level of fault tolerance, and one of the methods to achieve this is to use error correcting codes (ECC). This Wikipedia page ECC Memory gives a flavor, though that article concentrates on memory and we are interested in wider applications using a form of forward error correction. This technique … Read More
