Siemens Fleshes out More of their AI in Verification Story

Siemens Fleshes out More of their AI in Verification Story
by Bernard Murphy on 03-13-2025 at 6:00 am

AI maximizing verification productivity min

While Cadence and Synopsys were sharing a lot of detail over the past few years about what they were doing in AI, Siemens EDA seemed content to offer a very general picture about their intentions without getting into a lot of detail. At DVCon 2025 they finally pulled back the curtain. Why wait until now to announce?

Speeding Up Physical Design Verification for AMS Designs

Speeding Up Physical Design Verification for AMS Designs
by Daniel Payne on 03-10-2025 at 6:00 am

mismatch min

Custom and analog/mixed-signal IC designs have some unique IP and symmetry checking requirements for physical design. Waiting until the end of the IC layout process to verify IP instances for correctness or proper symmetry will cause project delays, so an approach to perform earlier physical verification makes more sense. … Read More

S2c EDA ARM 2025

The tech world is sprinting toward a future where your fridge orders groceries, your car avoids traffic before you hit it, and security cameras don’t just watch—they understand. But behind these innovations lies a messy truth: building the brains for these smart systems is complicated.

Fresh off the 2024 Arm Tech Symposia… Read More

DVCon 2025 talk min

I mentioned in an earlier blog that multiple presentations at DVCon 2025 went all-in on AI-assisted design and verification. The presentation was one such example, looking very much at top-down AI-expert application of agentic flows to design and verification. AlphaDesign is a new startup out of UC Santa Barbara headed by William… Read More

Rise DA advantages min

DVCon 2025 was unquestionably a forum for pulling out all the stops in AI-based (RTL) design and verification, particularly around generative AI and agentic methods. I heard three product pitches and a keynote and have been told that every AI talk was standing room only. A pitch from Rise-DA particularly appealed to me because … Read More


Unlocking the cloud: A new era for post-tapeout flow for semiconductor manufacturing

Unlocking the cloud: A new era for post-tapeout flow for semiconductor manufacturing
by Bassem Riad on 03-04-2025 at 6:00 am

figure2 FullScale

As semiconductor chips shrink and design complexity skyrockets, managing post-tapeout flow (PTOF) jobs has become one of the most compute-intensive tasks in manufacturing. Advanced computational lithography demands an enormous amount of computing power, putting traditional in-house resources to the test. Enter the … Read More

Synopsys Automotive NIST TRNG

The security of a device or system depends mainly on being unable to infer or guess an alphanumeric code needed to gain access to it or its data, be that a password or an encryption key. In automotive applications, the security requirement goes one step further – an attacker may not gain access per se, but if they can compromise vehicle… Read More
