SemiWiki Snapshot

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to work with AMIQ EDA as they introduced a new product: DVT MCP Server. I was quite intrigued by the role it will play in AI-assisted chip design and verification, so I wanted to learn more. I spoke with Gabriel Busuioc, the AI Assistant team leader at AMIQ EDA, to understand more about the product and how… Read More

The Risk of Not Optimizing Clock Power

The Risk of Not Optimizing Clock Power
by Mike Gianfagna on 02-06-2026 at 6:00 am

The Risk of Not Optimizing Clock Power

Clock power is rarely the issue teams expect to limit advanced-node designs. Yet in many chips today, over-driven clock networks quietly consume disproportionate power, reduce thermal headroom, and can constrain achievable frequency. And all while passing traditional sign-off checks and often remaining locked in through… Read More


Beyond Transformers. Physics-Centric Machine Learning for Analog

Beyond Transformers. Physics-Centric Machine Learning for Analog
by Bernard Murphy on 02-05-2026 at 6:00 am

Physics based learning

Physical AI is an emerging hot trend, popularly associated with robotics though it has much wider scope than compute systems interacting with the physical world. For any domain in which analysis rests on differential equations (foundational in physics), the transformer-based systems behind LLMs are not the best fit for machine… Read More

How 25G Ethernet, PCIe 5.0, and Multi-Protocol PHYs Enable Scalable Edge Intelligence

How 25G Ethernet, PCIe 5.0, and Multi-Protocol PHYs Enable Scalable Edge Intelligence
by Kalar Rajendiran on 02-03-2026 at 6:00 am

Ethernet Links Enabling In Vehicle Network and ADAS

Physical AI is changing how intelligent systems interact with the real world. These systems must sense, process, and respond to data in real time. Unlike cloud AI, Physical AI depends on fast local processing and reliable distributed communication. This shift creates a new challenge. Systems must move large volumes of sensor… Read More


Advances in ATPG from Synopsys

Advances in ATPG from Synopsys
by Daniel Payne on 02-02-2026 at 10:00 am

Synopsys TestMAX family

I first learned about ATPG – Automatic Test Program Generation in the 1980s at Silicon Compilers, then continued in the 90s at Viewlogic with the Sunrise tools, so it was illuminating to get an update from Synopsys on their ATPG technology by attending a webinar. Synopsys over the years has developed a family of test tools, shown … Read More
