How to Update Your FPGA Devices with Questa

It’s a fact of life that technology marches on. Older process nodes get replaced by newer ones. As a result, ASSPs and FPGAs are obsoleted, leaving behind large system design investments that need to re-done. Since many of these obsolete designs are performing well in the target application, this re-do task can be particularly … Read More

Happy Lamb
  • Lam put in good quarter with flattish guide- still a slow recovery
  • This is better than worst case fears of order drop like ASML
  • China spend is slowing but tech spending increase offsets
  • Relief rally as the market was braced for bad news and got OK news
Lam has OK, slightly better than in line quarter with OK guide….

It coulda been… Read More

cover 2

A friend of SemiWiki published an article on Moore’s Law in IEEE that I think is worth reading:

IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, Vol. 41, Issue 4.

The topic of Moore’s Law is of paramount importance, reaching almost the entire field of electronics (and the semiconductor industry). In the course of six decades, for the first… Read More
