The CHIPS and Science Act has its fair share of critics, with detractors calling it corporate welfare for “losers” like Intel, or lacking guardrails to prevent companies making legacy chips in China.
One of the most vocal opponents of the act has been China’s communist-ruled government.
CHIPS – an acronym for Creating Helpful … Read More
Synopsys Fusion Compiler offers advanced optimizations to achieve the best PPA (power, performance, area) on today’s high-performance cores and interconnect designs. However, advanced transformation techniques available in synthesis such as retiming, multi-bit registers, advanced datapath optimizations, etc. are

Charles Shi, semiconductor analyst at Needham & Company, an US-based investment bank and asset management firm, hosted an expert call on semiconductor cycles with Malcolm Penn, Founder and CEO of Future Horizons on 18 August 2022, with over 100 financial analysts in attendance. The following bulletin is a summary of the… Read More
Although the high-performance X-NAND memory cell and architecture were first introduced in 2020 by Neo Semiconductor, designers at Neo haven’t rested on that accomplishment and recently updated the cell and the architecture in a second-generation implementation to achieve 20X the performance of conventional quad-level-cell… Read More
Advanced semiconductor fabrication technology is what makes it possible to pack more and more transistors into a sq.mm of a wafer. The rapidly increasing demand for advanced-process-based chips has created huge market opportunities for semiconductor manufacturing equipment vendors. According to SEMI, worldwide sales … Read More
The Design Automation Conference, as always, is a good barometer on the state of EDA and my area of interest, verification. The recent DAC offered plenty of opportunities to check on trends and the status quo.
Remarkably, exhibitors and attendees were upbeat about the chip design landscape despite concerns about supply chain … Read More
This webinar will introduce to you a revolutionary new way to do prototyping and emulation at best-in-class performance, productivity, and pricing by unifying the hardware and a new software stack so one system is capable of prototyping and delivering essential emulation functionality.
The speed of Moore’s law… Read More
I consider Dr. Aart de Geus one of the founding fathers of EDA and one of the most interesting people in the semiconductor industry. So it is not a surprise that Aart was chosen to attend the CHIPs Act signing at the White House.
Here is his current corporate bio:
Since co-founding Synopsys in 1986, Dr. Aart de Geus has expanded Synopsys… Read More
As embedded systems continue to become more complex and integrate greater functionality, SoC developers are faced with the challenge of developing more powerful, yet more energy-efficient devices. The processors used in these embedded applications must be efficient to deliver high levels of performance within limited power… Read More
The design and characterization of RF circuits is a complex process that requires an RF designer to overcome a variety of challenges. Not only do they face the complexities posed by advanced semiconductor processes and the need to meet the demanding requirements of modern wireless standards, designers must also account for electromagnetic… Read More
