The TSMC Open Innovation Platform (OIP) Ecosystem Forum has become the industry benchmark when it comes to showcasing industry-wide collaboration. The extreme design, integration and packaging demands presented by multi-die, chiplet-based design have raised the bar in terms of required collaboration across the entire … Read More
Analog Bits is aggressively moving to advanced nodes. On SemiWiki, Dan Nenni covered new IP in 3nm at DAC here. I covered the new Analog Bits 3nm IP presented at the TSMC Technology Symposium here. And now, there’s buzz about 2nm IP to be announced at the upcoming TSMC OIP event in September. I was able to get a briefing from the master… Read More
Analog Bits, the industry’s leading provider of low-power mixed-signal IP solutions will be demonstrating several IP’s in TSMC advanced nodes at DAC. Analog Bits is also a long time DAC supporter and very active in the semiconductor and on SemiWiki, absolutely. Great company!
As power management and energy efficiency is getting… Read More
The recent TSMC Technology Symposium in the Bay Area showcased the company’s leadership in areas such as solution platforms, advanced and specialty technologies, 3D enablement and manufacturing excellence. As always, the TSMC ecosystem was an important part of the story as well and that topic is the subject of this post. Analog… Read More
The world is abuzz with 3nm and 2nm technology availability. These processes offer the opportunity to pack far more on a single die than ever before. The complex digital systems contemplated will bring new AI algorithms to life and much more. But there is another side of the technology migration story. With all that digital processing… Read More
The 15th TSMC Open Innovation Platform® (OIP) event was held recently. This event is a focal point across the industry for cutting-edge development and industry-level collaboration. Appropriately, advanced packaging, paving the way for multi-die design was a focal point for the event. You can get a good overview of what was … Read More
If you’ve designed a chip with analog content (and who hasn’t), you know Analog Bits. Along the way, you likely met Mahesh. If you are a lover of fine wines, you probably know Mahesh quite well. More on that later. I got the opportunity to speak with him recently about what he’s been up to, both now and over the past few years. It’s a story… Read More
In a simple answer – everyone. A keynote presentation “Sensing the Unknowns and Managing Power” by Mahesh Tirupattur, the Executive Vice President at Analog Bits at the recent Siemens User2User conference, discussed the need and application of sensors in computing and power applications. Why sense? As Mahesh explains, sensing… Read More
Given the recent acquisitions the ASIC business is coming full circle as a critical part of the fabless semiconductor ecosystem. The most recent one being the SEMIFIVE acquisition of IP industry stalworth Analog Bits. These two companies came to the industry from opposite directions which make them a perfect match, absolutely.… Read More
No matter how impressive the specifications are for an SoC, the power performance and area of the finished design all depend on the IP selected for the IO blocks. In particular, most SOCs designed for consumer and enterprise applications rely heavily on PCI Express. Because PCIe analog IP is critical to design success, Samsung … Read More
