I doubt there is anyone who hasn’t felt the impact of supply chain problems, from late ecommerce deliveries (weeks) to kitchen appliances (up to 6 months or more). Perhaps no industry has been more affected than auto makers, whose cars are now critically dependent on advanced electronics. According to a white paper recently released… Read More

Webinar: Boosting Analog IC Layout Productivity

Webinar: Boosting Analog IC Layout Productivity
by Daniel Payne on 11-09-2021 at 10:00 am

Animate Preview

Digital IC designers use a well-known methodology with pre-designed standard cells and other IP blocks playing a major re-use role, however in the analog IC design world there are more nuanced requirements which often dictate that a new analog block be highly customized. The downside is that customizing analog IC layout takes… Read More


CDC for MBIST: Who Knew?

CDC for MBIST: Who Knew?

CDC for MBIST

Now and again, I enjoy circling back to a topic on which I spent a good deal of time back in my Atrenta days – clock domain crossing analysis (CDC). This is an area that still has opportunity to surprise me at least, in this case looking at CDC analysis around MBIST logic. CDC for MBIST might seem strange. Isn’t everything in test mode synchronous… Read More

There’s plenty of talk about requirements for IP data management. The fundamental methods to prevent chaos, waste or worse are popular topics. I’ve covered webinars from Cliosoft on the topic on SemiWiki. But what about the future? What’s really needed to set up a path that scales, addressing the challenges of today and the new … Read More


Back to Basics in RTL Design Quality

Back to Basics in RTL Design Quality

Deming min

Harry Foster waxes philosophical in a recent white paper from Siemens EDA, in this case on the origins of bugs and the best way to avoid them. Spoiler alert, the answer is not to make them in the first place or at least to flush them out very quickly. I’m not being cynical – that really is the answer though practice often falls short of ideal.… Read More
