Questa One plus AI min

I wrote recently about a Siemens pre-announcement at DVCon on their directions in simulation+AI. On May 13th they officially announced a full spectrum of capabilities under the brand Questa One. Abhi Kolpekwar (VP/GM at Siemens EDA) more fully fleshed out the story for me. I asked why Siemens is late to this simulation+AI party.… Read More

fig1 missing level shifters

In the realm of mixed signal design for integrated circuits (ICs), level shifters play a critical role for interfacing circuits that operate at different voltage levels. A level shifter converts signal from one voltage level to another, ensuring compatibility between components. Figure 1 illustrates a missing level shifter… Read More

Siemens Describes its System Level Prototyping and Planning Cockpit

We all know semiconductor design is getting harder. Much harder when you consider the demands of AI workloads and heterogeneous integration of many chiplets in a single package. This class of system demands co-optimization across the entire design flow. For example, functional verification, thermal analysis, signal and power… Read More


Verifying Leakage Across Power Domains

Verifying Leakage Across Power Domains
by Daniel Payne on 04-21-2025 at 10:00 am

leakage contention

IC designs need to operate reliably under varying conditions and avoid inefficiencies like leakage across power domains. But how do you verify that connections between IP blocks has been done properly? This is where reliability verification, Electrical Rule Checking (ERC) tools and dynamic simulations all come into play particularly… Read More

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?

Darron May (Director… Read More
