Scientific Analog 61dac min

Transistor-level circuit designers have long used SPICE for circuit simulation, mostly because it is silicon accurate and helps them to predict the function, timing, power, waveforms, slopes and delays in a cell before fabrication. RTL designers use digital simulators that have a huge capacity but are lacking analog modeling.… Read More


PCIe design workflow debuts simulation-driven virtual compliance

PCIe design workflow debuts simulation-driven virtual compliance
by Don Dingee on 07-16-2024 at 6:00 am

PCIe classical workflow

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

Needham DAC

The theme of this year’s DAC was Chips to Systems which is a full circle type of thing since systems companies used to make their own chips. Old school computer companies were the biggest chip makers when I started  in the semiconductor industry. IDMs like Motorola and Intel replaced them at the chip level. Shortly after I joined… Read More

LIVE WEBINAR Maximizing SoC Energy Efficiency: The Role of Realistic Workloads and Massively Parallel Power Analysis
by Daniel Nenni on 07-03-2024 at 2:00 pm

The Role of Realistic Workloads and Massively Parallel Power Analysis

As the complexity of modern System-on-Chip (SoC) designs continues to rise, achieving energy efficiency measured as performance per watt has become a crucial design goal. With the increasing demand for powerful, multifunctional chips, balancing performance with power consumption has become essential. Realistic workloads… Read More

Solido USask 2024

In my 40 years, I have worked for dozens of companies and just about everyone of them was acquired. Some of the acquisitions were accretive and some were not. Probably the best and most accretive one would be the Solido acquisition by Siemens EDA in 2017. I worked for Solido for ten years reporting to CEO Amit Gupta. I handled Taiwan … Read More
