Getting the most out of a shift-left IC physical verification flow with the Calibre nmPlatform

Getting the most out of a shift-left IC physical verification flow with the Calibre nmPlatform
by Peter Bennet on 06-08-2023 at 10:00 am

Correct Verify Debug

Who first came up with this term shift-left ? I’d assumed Siemens EDA as they use it so widely. But their latest white paper on the productivity improvements possible with shift-left Calibre IC verification flows puts the record straight: a software engineer called Larry Smith bagged the naming rights in a 2001 paper (leapfrogging… Read More


Automotive IP Certification

Automotive IP Certification
by Daniel Payne on 06-05-2023 at 10:00 am

SLM min

The electrification of cars and the growth of EVs means that more semiconductor content is being added with every new vehicle model from suppliers around the globe. There are unique concerns for automotive IP in terms of reliability, security and safety over the lifetime of the vehicle. I had the pleasure to speak with Pawini MahajanRead More

Why Secure Ethernet Connections?

Why Secure Ethernet Connections?
by Daniel Payne on 05-29-2023 at 6:00 am

Ethernet Security min

While web browsing I constantly glance for the padlock symbol to indicate that the site is encrypting any of my form data by using the https prefix, which means that an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is being used by the web hosting company. I have peace of mind knowing that my credit card information cannot be easily stolen… Read More


Chiplet Interconnect Challenges and Standards

Chiplet Interconnect Challenges and Standards
by Daniel Payne on 05-25-2023 at 10:00 am

Multi die IP min

For decades now I’ve watched the incredible growth of SoCs in terms of die size, transistor count, frequency and complexity. Instead of placing all of the system complexity into a single, monolithic chip, there are now compelling reasons to use a multi-chip approach, like when the maximum die size limit is reached, or it’s… Read More


IP Lifecycle Management for Chiplet-Based SoCs

IP Lifecycle Management for Chiplet-Based SoCs
by Kalar Rajendiran on 05-24-2023 at 10:00 am

IP Object for IPLM

Chiplet-based System-on-Chips (SoCs) are becoming increasingly popular in the semiconductor industry due to their potential to improve design efficiency, increase performance, and reduce costs. While chiplets are seen as a way to reduce the cost of innovation, they introduce a lot of challenges too. Packaging, interconnect… Read More
