Linear pluggable optics target data center energy savings
Data center density continues growing, driving interconnect technology to meet new challenges. Two of the largest are signal integrity and power consumption. Optical interconnects can solve many signal integrity issues posed by copper cabling and offer support for higher frequencies and bandwidths. Still, through sheer… Read More
Smarter, Faster LVS using Calibre nmLVS Recon
Back in the 1970s we did Layout Versus Schematic (LVS) checks manually, so when internal EDA tools arrived in the 1980s it was a huge time saver to use LVS in finding the differences between layout and schematics. One premise before running LVS is that both layout and schematics are complete and ready for comparisons. Fast forward… Read More
Bird’s Eye View Magic: Cadence Tensilica Product Group Pulls Back the Curtain
Even for experienced technologists some technologies can seem almost indistinguishable from magic. One example is the bird’s eye camera view available on your car’s infotainment screen. This view appears to be taken from a camera hovering tens of feet above your car. As an aid to parallel parking, it’s a brilliant invention; … Read More

The Impact of the AI Revolution on the Server Manufacturers
While some will designate my research as market research, I view it differently. Having done and bought plenty of market sizing research, I have not seen it lead to any change in behaviour or strategy. It has been used to confirm a strategy already decided and the “great” … Read More
Siemens EDA Offers a Comprehensive Guide to PCIe® Transport Security
It is well-known that there is more data being generated all the time. The need to store and process that data with less power and higher throughput dominates design considerations for virtually all systems. There is another dimension to the problem – ensuring the data is secure as all this movement and processing occurs. Within… Read More
