Electrical rule checking (ERC) is a standard part of any design flow. There is a hidden problem with the traditional approach, however. As designs grow in complexity, whether full-custom analog, mixed-signal, or advanced-node digital, the limitations of traditional ERC tools are becoming more problematic. This can lead to… Read More

WEBINAR: Why Network-on-Chip (NoC) Has Become the Cornerstone of AI-Optimized SoCs
By Andy Nightingale, VP of Product Management and Marketing
As AI adoption accelerates across markets, including automotive ADAS, large-scale compute, multimedia, and edge intelligence, the foundations of system-on-chip (SoC) designs are being pushed harder than ever. Modern AI engines generate tightly coordinated, … Read More
Quantum Computing Algorithms and Applications
In an upcoming Innovation blog we’ll get into how quantum computers are programmed. Here I’d like to look more closely at algorithms beyond Grover and Shor, and what practical applications there might be for quantum computing. I also take a quick look at what analysts are saying about potential market size. Even more than in AI, … Read More
imec on the Benefits of ASICs and How to Seize Them
In an era where product differentiation increasingly depends on performance, power efficiency, and form factor, Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) have become the ultimate competitive weapon for innovative companies. Unlike off-the-shelf processors, FPGAs, or even ASSPs, a full- or semi-custom ASIC is… Read More
