Engineering documentation has always been difficult to produce, maintain, and scale. But with the rise of generative AI, many organizations are asking a reasonable question: can a general-purpose large language model (LLM) like Claude automate the work? At first glance, the answer appears to be yes.
Modern LLMs can generate… Read More
Let’s face it, powerful, highly trained AI is making it easier to find security flaws in many systems. When the attack surface becomes the underlying hardware, the risks grow exponentially. Unlike software, hardware can’t easily be “patched”. Early, advanced security verification is the way to mitigate these risks, but doing… Read More
It is well-known that advanced semiconductor process technology presents substantial challenges across the full design flow and global supply chain. In this piece, we will focus on a particularly difficult problem – physical verification. This design step is the final gate to manufacturing. Producing a final tape‑out GDS … Read More
The recent Chiplet Summit 2026 was a great place to learn about new chiplet designs, emerging standards, and a growing array of support technologies to help design and manufacture chiplet-based systems. In my travels at the show, I found a lot of technology that fit these descriptions. But there were also companies at the show that… Read More
Analog Bits has a way of stealing the show at every event they attend. The formula is actually quite straight-forward – come to the show with the most relevant, highest impact IP running on the most advanced process. The company will be applying this strategy again at the upcoming TSMC 2026 Technology Symposium with an array of real-time… Read More
Review the specifications of any state-of-the-art microcontroller and you will discover the high dynamic current the device can consume. Examining the high clock rates and low tolerable voltage drop will lead you to the all-important power delivery network, or PDN. Components here include power planes, layer stack-up, decoupling… Read More
yieldHUB is a unique company that focuses on yield optimization for the semiconductor industry. The company aims to bring engineering teams together with a platform that allows sharing of data analytics and knowledge about products to improve yield. This goal is certainly fueled by unifying data from multiple steps in the manufacturing… Read More
We all know the semiconductor industry is seeing a new era of data intensity. The industry’s response includes advanced semiconductor design strategies, the adoption of chiplets, and the integration of optical I/O and photonics to enable higher performance, faster AI computation, and increased modularity. Co-packaged photonics… Read More
The embedded world Exhibition & Conference recently concluded. The event is held annually in Nuremberg, Germany and has become one of the most influential gatherings for the global embedded systems community. Since its inception in 2003, the event has grown from a modest technical meeting into a large-scale international… Read More
This informative webinar discusses a significant issue that is cropping up for sub-5nm designs. As the graphic above shows, modeling uncertainty at advanced nodes results in excessive guard banding. These guard bands result in reduced performance and profit. A loss of 25 – 35% in PPA is discussed, along with the lost profit associated… Read More
