Clock power is rarely the issue teams expect to limit advanced-node designs. Yet in many chips today, over-driven clock networks quietly consume disproportionate power, reduce thermal headroom, and can constrain achievable frequency. And all while passing traditional sign-off checks and often remaining locked in through… Read More

Beyond Transformers. Physics-Centric Machine Learning for Analog
Physical AI is an emerging hot trend, popularly associated with robotics though it has much wider scope than compute systems interacting with the physical world. For any domain in which analysis rests on differential equations (foundational in physics), the transformer-based systems behind LLMs are not the best fit for machine… Read More

How 25G Ethernet, PCIe 5.0, and Multi-Protocol PHYs Enable Scalable Edge Intelligence
Physical AI is changing how intelligent systems interact with the real world. These systems must sense, process, and respond to data in real time. Unlike cloud AI, Physical AI depends on fast local processing and reliable distributed communication. This shift creates a new challenge. Systems must move large volumes of sensor… Read More
The 71st International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM 2025)
It is hard to believe this conference is older than most all of the participants, including myself. The amount of history behind this conference is amazing. Back in 1955 the meeting began as the Electron Devices Meeting (EDM), organized by what later became the IEEE Electron Devices Society. Its core purpose was to bring together… Read More
