The semiconductor industry is facing a paradigm shift. Traditional scaling, once driven by Moore’s Law, is slowing down. For years, moving to smaller process nodes led to lower transistor costs and better performance. However, scaling from node to node now offers fewer benefits as wafer costs rise much more than the historical… Read More

MCUs Are Now Embracing Mainstream NoCs
The moral of today’s story is that to succeed in a late-adopter market, sometimes you just have to wait for the market to catch up (assuming you have a strong early adopter market to buy your product today). I have been working with Arteris for 6+ years now promoting their NoC technology, and there was never any question that they offer… Read More

Accellera 2024 End of Year Update
From my viewpoint, standards organizations in semiconductor design always looked like they were “sharpening the saw”: further polishing/refining what we already have but not often pushing on frontiers. Very necessary of course to stabilize and get common agreement in standards but equally always seeming to be behind the innovation… Read More
Enhancing System Reliability with Digital Twins and Silicon Lifecycle Management (SLM)
As industries become more reliant on advanced technologies, the importance of ensuring the reliability and longevity of critical systems grows. Failures in components, whether in autonomous vehicles, high performance computing (HPC), healthcare devices, or industrial automation, can have far-reaching consequences.… Read More
Accelerating Electric Vehicle Development – Through Integrated Design Flow for Power Modules
The development of electric vehicles (EVs) is key to transitioning to sustainable transportation. However, designing high-performance EVs presents significant challenges, particularly in power module design. Power modules, including inverters, bulky DC capacitors, power management ICs (PMICs), and battery packs, … Read More
