Stephen Rothrock founded ATREG in 2000 to help global advanced technology companies divest and acquire infrastructure-rich manufacturing assets. Over the last 25 years, his firm has completed more than 100 transactions, representing over 40% of all global operational wafer fab sales in the semiconductor industry for operational,… Read More
Custom and Analog-Mixed Signal (AMS) IC design are used when the highest performance is required, and using digital standard cells just won’t meet the requirements. Manually sizing schematics, doing IC layout, extracting parasitics, then measuring the performance only to go back and continue iterating is a long, tedious… Read More
Much of the recent Keysight EDA 2024 announcement focuses on high-speed digital (HSD) and RF EDA features for Advanced Design System (ADS) and SystemVue users, including RF System Explorer, DPD Explorer (for digital pre-distortion), and design elements for 5G NTN, DVB-S2X, and satcom phased array applications. Two important… Read More
Assertion based verification is a very productive way to catch bugs, however assertions are hard enough to write that assertion-based coverage is not as extensive as it could be. Is there a way to simplify developing assertions to aid in increasing that coverage? Paul Cunningham (Senior VP/GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl … Read More

Artificial Intelligence is now the primary driver of leading edge semiconductor technology and that means performance is at a premium and time to market will be measured in billions of dollars of revenue. Emulation and Prototyping have never been more important and we are seeing some amazing technology breakthroughs including… Read More
In the realm of digital systems, clocks play a crucial role in synchronizing various components and ensuring smooth flow of logic propagation. However, the accuracy of clocks can be significantly affected by power supply induced jitter. Jitter refers to the deviation in the timing of clock signals with PDN noise compared to ideal… Read More
Tis the season for transformer-centric articles apparently – this is my third within a month. Clearly this is a domain with both great opportunities and challenges: extending large language model (LLM) potential to new edge products and revenue opportunities, with unbounded applications and volumes yet challenges in meeting… Read More
