“The amateurs discuss tactics: the professionals discuss logistics.”
— Napoleon
Logistics is even more important today than it was in the early 1800’s. Further, the effectiveness of Defense systems is increasingly driven by sophisticated electronics. As the recent Ukraine conflict reveals, weapons such as precision munitions,… Read More
Dan is joined by Graham Curren, CEO of ASIC provider Sondrel. Graham founded Sondrel in 2002 after identifying a gap in the market for an international company specialising in complex digital IC design. Prior to establishing Sondrel, Graham worked in both ASIC design and manufacturing before joining EDA company, Avant! Corporation.… Read More
How do you reconfigure system characteristics? The answer to that question is well established – through software. Make the underlying hardware general enough and use platform software to update behaviors and tweak hardware configuration registers. This simple fact drove the explosion of embedded processors everywhere … Read More
Ann Kelleher is Intel’s Executive Vice President, General Manager, Technology Development, and she gave the first plenary talk to kick off the 2022 IEDM, “Celebrating 75 Years of the Transistor A Look at the Evolution of Moore’s Law Innovation”. I am generally not a fan of plenary talks because I think they are often too broad and… Read More
Register management tools have been used mostly in a bottom-up approach. There are some documents and/or spreadsheets created by the System Architects that are delivered to the design and verification teams. They then start capturing the HW/SW interface of the peripheral IPs in their in-house or commercial register management… Read More
Successful ASIC providers offer top-notch infrastructure and methodologies that can accommodate varied demands from a multitude of customers. Such ASIC providers also need access to best-in-class IP portfolio, advanced packaging and test capabilities, and heterogeneous chiplet integration capability among other things.… Read More
I am delighted to share my technical insights into RISC-V in this article to inspire and prepare the next generation of chip designers for the future of the open era of computing. If you understand how we build complex electronic devices like desktops and smartphones using processors, you would be more interested in learning and… Read More
The Interface IP market has grown with 21% CAGR from 2017 to 2021 and we review the part of this market restricted to the high-end of PCIe, DDR, Ethernet and D2D IP made of PHY and controller targeting the most advanced technology nodes and latest protocol release. We will show that an IP vendor focusing investment on the high-end interconnect… Read More
Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography targets patterning pitches below 50 nm, which is beyond the resolution of an immersion lithography system without multiple patterning. In the process of exposing smaller pitches, stochastic patterning effects, i.e., random local pattern errors from unwanted resist removal or lack … Read More
Dan is joined by Hassan Triqui who has over 20 years of experience in the technology sector. Prior to spearheading Secure-IC’s development into a major player in embedded cybersecurity solutions, Hassan was a former senior executive at Thales (Talles) and Thomson.
