Spread Spectrum Modulator RTL IP provides industry standard and custom modulation patterns for Silicon Creations fractional N PLLs

If you sell sneakers, 1,000 pair is called a humble beginning. On the other hand, selling 1,000 licenses for specialized analog IP is a home run.  Silicon Creations celebrated a home run for a critical piece of analog IP that finds its way into a diverse array of applications. Succeeding in so many markets is noteworthy, and I want … Read More

Silicon Creations is Fueling Next Generation Chips

Next generation semiconductor design puts new stress on traditionally low-key parts of the design process. One example is packaging, which used to be the clean-up spot at the end of the design. Thanks to chiplet-based design, package engineers are now rock stars. Analog design is another one of those disciplines.

Not long ago,… Read More


Get Ready for a Shakeout in Edge NPUs

Get Ready for a Shakeout in Edge NPUs
by Bernard Murphy on 11-20-2024 at 6:00 am

trackstar in a race min (1)

When the potential for AI at the edge first fired our imagination, semiconductor designers recognized that performance (and low power) required an accelerator and many decided to build their own. Requirements weren’t too complicated, commercial alternatives were limited and who wanted to add another royalty to further reduce… Read More

Car EE system

The unsettled realities of modern automotive markets (BEV/HEV, ADAS/AD, radical views on how to make money) don’t only affect automakers. These disruptions also ripple down the supply chain prompting a game of musical chairs, each supplier aiming to maximize their chances of still having a chair (and a bigger chair) when the … Read More

NoC Tiling min

Systolic arrays, with their ability to highly parallelize matrix operations, are at the heart of many modern AI accelerators. Their regular structure is ideally suited to matrix/matrix multiplication, a repetitive sequence of row-by-column multiply-accumulate operations. But that regular structure is less than ideal … Read More

H3 FPGA with MIPI for driving dual display folding devices

Flexible LCD technology has spurred a wave of creativity in device design, including a new class of foldable phones and an update to the venerable flip phone. Besides the primary display inside the fold – sometimes taking the entire inside area – a smaller secondary display is often found outside the fold. Introducing the secondary… Read More
