We all know semiconductor design is getting harder. Much harder when you consider the demands of AI workloads and heterogeneous integration of many chiplets in a single package. This class of system demands co-optimization across the entire design flow. For example, functional verification, thermal analysis, signal and power… Read More
The worldwide TSMC 2025 Technology Symposium recently kicked off with the first event in Santa Clara, California. These events typically focus on TSMC’s process technology and vast ecosystem. These items were certainly a focus for this year’s event as well. But there is now an additional item that shares the spotlight – packaging… Read More
One-time programmable (OTP) non-volatile memory has been around for a long time. Compared to other non-volatile memory technologies OTP has a smaller footprint and does not require additional manufacturing steps, making it a popular choice to store items such as boot code and encryption keys. While this sounds simple, the growth… Read More
