Accelerating Automotive SoC Design with Chiplets

Accelerating Automotive SoC Design with Chiplets
by Kalar Rajendiran on 01-02-2025 at 10:00 am

System Chiplet

The automotive industry is evolving rapidly with the increasing demand for intelligent, connected, and autonomous vehicles. Central to this transformation are System-on-Chip (SoC) designs, which integrate multiple processing units into a single chip for managing everything from safety systems to in-car entertainment.… Read More

Accelerating Electric Vehicle Development – Through Integrated Design Flow for Power Modules
by Kalar Rajendiran on 12-04-2024 at 10:00 am

Existing EV Power Module Flow

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

Analog IC Migration using AI

Analog IC Migration using AI
by Daniel Payne on 11-14-2024 at 10:00 am

Analog Migration with virtuoso studio

My first job out of college was migrating a DRAM chip from one process node to a newer node, and it was a 100% manual process that required many months of effort. That need to migrate semiconductor IP to newer nodes is still with us today, and much automation has been applied to digital circuits, however migrating analog IP has proven… Read More


The Next LLM Architecture? Innovation in Verification

The Next LLM Architecture? Innovation in Verification
by Bernard Murphy on 10-30-2024 at 6:00 am

Innovation New

LLMs have amazing capabilities but inference run times grow rapidly with the size of the input (prompt) sequence, a significant weakness for some applications in engineering. State space models (SSMs) aim to correct this weakness. Paul Cunningham (GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl Camposano (Silicon Catalyst, entrepreneur,… Read More
