CEO Outlook #2

Chances are anyone who attended the CEO Outlook will say it was an engaging, entertaining and enlightening view of the chip design space, though CEO Outlook may be a misnomer as four of the seven panelists had C-Suite titles other than CEO.

Regardless, the collective view was optimistic, though caution prevailed as the economic… Read More

DFE min

At the DesignCon 2023 event this year there was a presentation by Micron all about DDR5 design challenges like the need for a Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) inside the DRAM. Siemens EDA and Micron teamed up to write a detailed 25 page white paper on the topic, and I was able to glean the top points for this much shorter blog. The DDR5… Read More

Synopsys Chiplet Report 2023

Chiplets continue to be a hot topic on SemiWiki, conferences, white papers, webinars and one of the most active chiplet enabling vendors we work with is Synopsys. Synopsys is the #1 EDA and #1 IP company so that makes complete sense.

As you may have read, I moderated a panel on Chiplets at the last SNUG which we continue to write about.

I don’t know about you, but when I think of mission-critical applications, I immediately think of space exploration or military operations. But in today’s world, mission-critical applications are all around us. Think about the cloud and how data is managed, analyzed, and shared to execute any number of tasks that have safety … Read More


WEBINAR: Revolutionizing Chip Design with 2.5D/3D-IC Design Technology

WEBINAR: Revolutionizing Chip Design with 2.5D/3D-IC Design Technology

Figure 1 (2)

In the 3D-IC (Three-dimensional integrated circuit) chip design method, chiplets or wafers are stacked vertically on top of each other and are connected using Through Silicon Vias (TSVs) or hybrid bonding.

The 2.5D-IC design method places multiple chiplets alongside each other on a silicon interposer. Microbumps and interconnect… Read More
