Synopsys Secure Storage Solution for OTP IP

For decades, One-Time Programmable (OTP) memory has been viewed as a foundational element of hardware security. Because OTP can be written only once and cannot be modified afterward, it has traditionally been trusted to store cryptographic keys, secure boot code, device identity, and configuration data. Permanence was often… Read More

Agentic at the edge

It might seem from popular debate around AI and agentic that everything in this field is purely digital, initiated through text or voice prompts, often cloud-based or on-prem. But that view misses so much. AI is already an everyday experience at the edge, for voice-based control, in object detection and safety-triggered braking… Read More

Verification Futures with Bronco AI Agents for DV Debug

Verification Futures with Bronco AI Agents for DV Debug
by Daniel Nenni on 01-16-2026 at 6:00 am

Bronco AI Verification Futures 2025

Verification has become the dominant bottleneck in modern chip design. As much as 70% of the overall design cycle is now spent on verification, a figure driven upward by increasing design complexity, compressed schedules, and a chronic shortage of design verification (DV) engineering bandwidth. Modern chips generate thousands… Read More


Verifying RISC-V Platforms for Space

Verifying RISC-V Platforms for Space

User making a call through a satellite

Space applications are booming, prompted by rapidly declining launch costs now attainable through commercial competition. Thanks to ventures like SpaceX, the cost to put a satellite into low earth orbit (LEO) has dropped from $20k/kg to $2k/kg today and is expected to drop further to $200/kg or lower. Plummeting costs drive … Read More
