In the rapidly evolving world of Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC), the challenge has always been to design efficient, high-performance components quickly and accurately. Traditional methods, while effective, come with a high complexity and a lengthy iteration process. Today, we’re excited to unveil RFIC-GPT… Read More
It was a dark and stormy night here in Silicon Valley but we still had a full room of semiconductor professionals. I emceed the event. In addition to demos, customer and partner presentations, we did a Q&A which was really great. One thing I have to say is that Intel really showed up for both DesignCon and the Chiplet Summit. Quite… Read More
A different approach to formally verifying very challenging datapath functions. Paul Cunningham (GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl Camposano (Silicon Catalyst, entrepreneur, former Synopsys CTO and now Silvaco CTO) and I continue our series on research ideas. As always, feedback welcome. We’re planning to add a wrinkle… Read More
General purpose CPUs have run most EDA tools quite well for many years now, but if you really want to accelerate something like simulation then you start to look at using specializedhardware accelerators. . Emulators came onto the scene around 1986 and the processing power has greatly increased over the years, mostly in response… Read More
Cadence recently held an event to dig into the emerging world of photonic computing. Called The Rise of Photonic Computing, it was a two-day event held in San Jose on February 7th and 8th. The first day of the event was also accessible virtually. I attended a panel discussion on the topic – more to come on that. The day delivered a rich… Read More
On Wednesday, February 21st Intel held their first Foundry Direct Connect event. The event had both public and NDA sessions, and I was in both. In this article I will summarize what I learned (that is not covered by NDA) about Intel’s business, process, and wafer fab plans (my focus is process technology and wafer fabs).

When I first saw the Silicon Catalyst business plan 10 years ago I had very high hopes. Silicon Valley design starts were falling and Venture Capital Firms were distracted by software companies even though without silicon there would be no software.
Silicon Catalyst is an organization focused on accelerating silicon-based startups.… Read More
The relentless demand for lower power SoCs is evident across many markets. Examples include cutting-edge mobile, IoT, and wearable devices along with the high compute demands for AI and 5G/6G communications. Drivers for low power include battery life, thermal management and, for high compute applications, the overall cost… Read More
