The great things about CEO keynotes, at least from larger companies, is that you not only learn about recent advances but you also get a sense of the underlying algorithm for growth. Particularly reinforced when followed by discussions with high profile partner CEOs on their directions and areas of common interest. I saw this recently… Read More
Will my High-Speed Serial Link Work?
PCB designers can perform pre-route simulations, follow layout and routing rules, hope for the best from their prototype fab, and yet design errors cause respins which delays the project schedule. Just because post-route analysis is time consuming doesn’t mean that it should be avoided. Serial links are found in many PCB designs,… Read More

LRCX- Mediocre, flattish, long, U shaped bottom- No recovery in sight yet-2025?
– Lam reports another flat quarter & guide- No recovery in sight yet
– Seems like no expectation of recovery until 2025- Mixed results
– DRAM good- NAND weak- Foundry/Logic mixed-Mature weakening
– Clearly disappointing to investors & stock hoping for a chip recovery
Another Flat Quarter &

The server and enterprise network boundary has seen complexity explode in recent years. What used to be a simple TCP/IP offload task for network interface cards (NICs) is transforming into full-blown network acceleration using a data processing unit (DPU), able to make decisions based on traffic routes, message content, and… Read More

Alphawave Semi Bridges from Theory to Reality in Chiplet-Based AI
GenAI, the most talked-about manifestation of AI these days, imposes two tough constraints on a hardware platform. First, it demands massive memory to serve large language model with billions of parameters. Feasible in principle for a processor plus big DRAM off-chip and perhaps for some inference applications but too slow … Read More
Design Stage Verification Gives a Boost for IP Designers
The concept of shift left is getting to be quite well-known. The strategy involves integrating various checks typically performed later in the design process into earlier stages. The main benefit is to catch and correct defects or errors at an earlier stage when it’s easier and faster to address. For complex SoC design, … Read More
