Big Picture PSS and Perspec Deployment

Big Picture PSS and Perspec Deployment
by Bernard Murphy on 04-02-2025 at 6:00 am

semiconductor design realization

I met Moshik Rubin (Sr. Group Director, Product Marketing and BizDev in the System Verification Group at Cadence) at DVCon to talk about PSS (the Portable Stimulus Standard) and Perspec, Cadence’s platform to support PSS.  This was the big picture view I was hoping for, following more down in the details views from earlier talks.… Read More

Metamorphic Test in AMS. Innovation in Verification
by Bernard Murphy on 03-26-2025 at 6:00 am

Innovation New

We have talked about metamorphic testing before. Here is a clever application to testing an AMS subsystem. Paul Cunningham (GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl Camposano (Silicon Catalyst, entrepreneur, former Synopsys CTO and lecturer at Stanford, EE292A) and I continue our series on research ideas. As always, feedback welcome.… Read More

Compute and Communications Perspectives on Automotive Trends
by Bernard Murphy on 03-19-2025 at 6:00 am

Automotive Growth Pillars min

Automotive electronics is a fast-moving space, especially around sensing and distilling intelligence from that sensing. This serves three main pillars: autonomy, electrification and advances in the car cockpit. Autonomy at multiple levels remains an important goal and continues to advance, technically and geographically.… Read More

Embracing the Chiplet Journey: The Shift to Chiplet-Based Architectures

Embracing the Chiplet Journey: The Shift to Chiplet-Based Architectures
by Kalar Rajendiran on 02-12-2025 at 6:00 am

Chiplets A New Abstraction Layer

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

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
