The upcoming Keysight EDA 2025 launch has three familiar tracks: RF circuit design, high-speed digital circuit design, and device modeling and characterization. However, this update features a common thread between the tracks – AI-enhanced design workflows. AI speeds modeling and simulation, opening co-optimization for… Read More
Webinar: When Failure in Silicon Is Not an Option
If the thought of a silicon respin keeps you awake at night, you’re not alone. Re-fabricating a chip can cost tens of millions of dollars. An unplanned respin also risks a delay in getting a product to market, which adds tremendous costs in terms of lost business.
Undoubtedly, adding to your sleep loss is the recent rise in respins.… Read More
Keysight EDA and Engineering Lifecycle Management at #61DAC
Entering the exhibit area of DAC on the first floor I was immediately faced with the Keysight EDA booth, and it was even larger than either the Synopsys or Cadence booths. They had a complete schedule of partners presenting in their theatre that included: Microsoft Azure, Riscure, Fermi Labs, BAE Systems, Alphawave, Intel Foundry,… Read More
PCIe design workflow debuts simulation-driven virtual compliance
PCIe design complexity continues rising as the standard for intrasystem communication evolves. An urgent need for more system bandwidth drives PCIe interconnects to multi-lane, multi-link, multi-level signaling. Classical PCIe design workflows leave designers with most of the responsibility for getting the requisite… Read More
Keysight EDA at the 2024 Design Automation Conference
DAC starts June 24th and I can already feel the buzz of excitement building up as I receive updates from EDA vendors like Keysight EDA. Talking with Scott Seiden, Director Strategic Marketing, Keysight EDA Portfolio, I learned that they have the largest booth on the first floor, now that’s a statement that caught my attention. This… Read More
Sarcina Teams with Keysight to Deliver Advanced Packages
All aspects of semiconductor design and manufacturing require collaboration across a global ecosystem. As complexity increases, so does the importance of good collaboration. This is especially true for advanced package design. Thanks to the movement to multi-die design, package development has become an incredibly difficult… Read More
The Git Dilemma: Is Version Control Enough for Semiconductor Success?
Git is a version control system that saves every change made to files. It offers powerful tools for managing these changes. This makes Git ideal for software development, as it lets you keep all project files in one place.
Software has grown in complexity, necessitating more collaboration among engineers across various time zones.… Read More
Self-heating and trapping enhancements in GaN HEMT models
High-fidelity models incorporating real-world, cross-domain effects are essential for accurate RF system simulation. The surging popularity of gallium nitride (GaN) technology in 5G base stations, satellite communication, defense systems, and other applications raises the bar for transistor modeling. Keysight dives… Read More
QuantumPro unifies superconducting qubit design workflow
To create quantum computing chips today, a typical designer must cobble various tools together, switching back and forth between them for different tasks. By contrast, EDA solutions such as Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS) unify a design workflow in a single interface with automated data exchange between features. In … Read More
2024 Outlook with Niels Faché of Keysight EDA
We have been working with Keysight EDA for the past two years and it has been an honor. The technical depth we have reached with them is impressive. Niels Faché, VP & GM, Keysight EDA, is responsible for Keysight’s design and simulation portfolio. Niels has been part of the Keysight-Agilent-HP family since 1994 when HP acquired… Read More
