Today we live in a world where technology is a part of our everyday lives, not only our personal data, but all devices we rely on on a daily basis including our automobiles, cell phones, and home devices. Hackers have found creative and novel ways to corrupt these products, disable systems, steal secrets and threaten our identities.… Read More
IC designs have physical verification applications like Layout Versus Schematic (LVS) at the transistor-level to ensure that layout and schematics are equivalent, in addition there’s an Electrical Rules Check (ERC) for connections to well regions called a soft check. The connections to all the devices needs to have the most… Read More

In the rapidly evolving world of Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC), the challenge has always been to design efficient, high-performance components quickly and accurately. Traditional methods, while effective, come with a high complexity and a lengthy iteration process. Today, we’re excited to unveil RFIC-GPT… Read More
It was a dark and stormy night here in Silicon Valley but we still had a full room of semiconductor professionals. I emceed the event. In addition to demos, customer and partner presentations, we did a Q&A which was really great. One thing I have to say is that Intel really showed up for both DesignCon and the Chiplet Summit. Quite… Read More
A different approach to formally verifying very challenging datapath functions. Paul Cunningham (GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl Camposano (Silicon Catalyst, entrepreneur, former Synopsys CTO and now Silvaco CTO) and I continue our series on research ideas. As always, feedback welcome. We’re planning to add a wrinkle… Read More
General purpose CPUs have run most EDA tools quite well for many years now, but if you really want to accelerate something like simulation then you start to look at using specializedhardware accelerators. . Emulators came onto the scene around 1986 and the processing power has greatly increased over the years, mostly in response… Read More
Cadence recently held an event to dig into the emerging world of photonic computing. Called The Rise of Photonic Computing, it was a two-day event held in San Jose on February 7th and 8th. The first day of the event was also accessible virtually. I attended a panel discussion on the topic – more to come on that. The day delivered a rich… Read More
